Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 14 ounces smoked sausage
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 medium carrots
- 2 stalks celery stalks
- 3 cloves garlic
- 30 ounces cannellini beans
- 14 ounces diced tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch rounds and add them to the pot. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly browned. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Dice the onion, carrots, and celery. Mince the garlic. Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the same pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Add the cannellini beans (drain and rinse them), diced tomatoes (with their juices), chicken broth, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Return the browned smoked sausage to the pot. Bring the soup to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary. Finely chop the fresh parsley and stir it into the soup just before serving.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm, optionally paired with crusty bread or a light green salad.
