🍁 Cozy season in a bowl! 🍁 When the evening calls for pure comfort, this Tuscan White Bean and Sausage Soup delivers. It combines savory crumbled sausage, tender carrots, creamy cannellini beans, and fresh spinach in a lightly creamy, seasoned broth.
Ingredients:
• 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or hot), casings removed
• 2 cans (15 oz each) cannellini or white navy beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 large carrots, sliced into rounds
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups chicken broth
• ½ cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
• 2 cups fresh baby spinach or chopped kale
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• Salt and black pepper to taste
Easy Steps:
1. Brown the Sausage: Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks, until completely browned.
2. Sauté Veggies: Drop the diced onion and sliced carrots directly into the pot with the sausage. Cook for 5 minutes until the onions are translucent. Stir in the garlic and Italian seasoning, cooking for 1 more minute.
3. Simmer the Base: Pour in the chicken broth and add the drained white beans. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer gently for 15 minutes until the carrots are tender.
4. Make it Creamy: Stir in the heavy cream and fresh spinach. Let it simmer uncovered for 2–3 minutes until the spinach is fully wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste, ladle into big bowls, and serve with plenty of warm, crusty bread!
