Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

In the same pot, add the onion and garlic, sauté for 3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the carrots, celery, and red bell pepper to the pot and sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
Add the diced tomatoes and chicken broth to the pot, stir to combine.
Drain and rinse the kidney beans and white beans, then add them to the pot.
Stir in the basil, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Return the sausage to the pot.
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot.
Let the stew simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together.
Before serving, stir in the fresh spinach and let it wilt for about 2 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
