Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 12 ounces Smoked sausage
- 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
- 2 medium, diced Carrots
- 2 stalks, diced Celery
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 6 cups Chicken broth
- 14.5 ounces Canned diced tomatoes
- 15 ounces Canned white beans
- 15 ounces Canned kidney beans
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped 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 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is lightly browned.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the sausage and set it aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.
Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and canned diced tomatoes (with their juices). Stir to combine.
Drain and rinse the white beans and kidney beans, then add them to the pot.
Return the cooked sausage to the pot and stir in the dried thyme, dried oregano, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the soup to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
Remove the bay leaf and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot. Enjoy!
