Recipe Notes
- You can use any small white beans in this recipe.
- If you prefer not to use sausage, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to sauté the vegetables and just omit sausage. The sausage does add a lot of flavor, so make sure to adjust your seasonings to taste if you omit.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
Here's how to make it:
- Put the sausage in a large soup pot or Dutch oven on the stove top over medium heat. Use a wooden spoon to break up the sausage and cook until no pink remains.
- Add celery, onion and carrots to the sausage and cook until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Add the Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, black pepper and tomato paste. Mix to combine.
- Add the drained beans and broth. Bring soup to a simmer and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, or until the carrots have become tender but not mushy.
- Add the spinach and cream. Stir until the spinach is wilted, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Serve warm with fresh bread or biscuits and enjoy!
