Ingredients

Scale

1 tablespoon of olive oil

1 pound of Italian sausage (bulk or casing removed)

1 medium of onion, diced

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1 carrot, diced

2 celery stalks, diced

1 can (14 ounces) of diced tomatoes, undrained

4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth

1 can (15 ounces) of cannellini beans, rinsed and drained

2 cups of fresh spinach or kale

1 cup of heavy cream

1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Grated Parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prep your ingredients: Make sure your veggies are chopped, sausage is out of the casing, and everything is ready to go.

Heat the oil in a large pot: Place a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the olive oil. Let it warm up for a minute.

Cook the sausage: Add the sausage to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks (about 5-7 minutes).

Add the onion, garlic, carrot, and celery: Stir these in and cook for another 5 minutes until the veggies start to soften. You want the onions to be translucent.

Pour in the diced tomatoes: Scrape up delicious brown bits from the bottom of the pot.

Add the broth: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and stir to combine.

Beans and seasonings: Stir in the cannellini beans and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

In with the greens: Toss in your spinach or kale and let it wilt into the soup. Stir well and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.

Finish with cream: Gently stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.

Taste and adjust: Give your soup a taste test, adding more salt or pepper if needed, and garnish with freshly grated Parmesan.
