A delightful combination of flavors that warms you from the inside out, this hearty Tuscan White Bean Soup is packed with Italian sausage, fresh vegetables, and creamy beans.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound mild Italian sausage
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced (about 1 ½ cups)
  • 3 ribs celery, diced
  • 2 large carrots, sliced into rounds
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 cups (32 ounces) chicken broth
  • 2 cans (15.5 ounces each) Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups (60 g) fresh baby spinach
  • ½ cup (119 g) heavy whipping cream
  • Parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the sausage. Cook until it’s browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and stirring occasionally for about 10-15 minutes.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onions, celery, and carrots. Cook until the onions are softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  4. Stir in the tomato paste, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper, and black pepper.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and add the beans. Bring to a simmer and continue to simmer for 6-7 minutes until the celery and carrots are tender.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and fresh spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts, about 5 minutes.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with chopped parsley.

Notes

Let the soup simmer longer for depth of flavor. For a vegetarian option, substitute the sausage with a plant-based alternative.
