Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 12 ounces smoked sausage, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 15-ounce cans canned white beans (like cannellini), drained and rinsed
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 5 ounces baby spinach leaves
- salt, to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the sliced smoked sausage to the pot and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on both sides. Transfer the sausage to a plate and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion, minced garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil.
Add the drained white beans, dried thyme, and ground black pepper. Stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Stir in the baby spinach leaves and the browned smoked sausage. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the spinach is wilted and the sausage is heated through.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if using. Serve hot and enjoy!
