Print Recipe

A nourishing and comforting Tuscan White Bean Soup with Italian sausage and creamy white beans, perfect for busy nights or cozy weekends.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound mild Italian sausage
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced (about 1 ½ cups)
  • 3 ribs celery, diced
  • 2 large carrots, sliced into rounds
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 cups (32 ounces) chicken broth
  • 2 cans (15.5 ounces each) Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups (60 g) fresh baby spinach
  • ½ cup (119 g) heavy whipping cream
  • Parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the sausage. Cook until browned, about 10-15 minutes, using a wooden spoon to break it apart as it cooks.
  2. Reduce the heat to medium and toss in the onions, celery, and carrots. Sauté until the onions soften, around 3-5 minutes. Mix in the garlic and cook for one more minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the tomato paste, Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper, and black pepper.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and add the drained beans. Bring to a gentle simmer and let it bubble away for 6-7 minutes until the celery and carrots are tender.
  5. Add the heavy cream next and toss in the baby spinach, stirring until the spinach wilts down, about five minutes.
  6. Serve warm, garnished with a sprinkle of chopped parsley.

Notes

For meal prep, this soup tastes even better the next day. Store it correctly and reheat when you’re ready.
