Italian Sausage And White Bean Soup
From absolutgoddess 16 years ago
- 40 minutes to make
- Serves 8
This is a dish that was derived from the leftovers of an Italian Sausage and White Bean Casserole, but I have to be honest, I think the soup was even better.
Ingredients
- 6 mild or hot Italian sausages (cooked and chopped into cubes) shopping list
- 2 14oz cans cannellini beans (drained) shopping list
- 2 14oz cans diced tomatoes shopping list
- 2 onions (diced) shopping list
- 1 green bell pepper (chopped into chunks) shopping list
- 3 cloves of garlic (finely chopped) shopping list
- 1 box of chicken stock (you'll need enough that the liquid of the soup covers the solid ingredients by an inch) shopping list
- dried or fresh chopped basil shopping list
- dried or fresh chopped oregano shopping list
- red pepper flakes shopping list
- salt and pepper to taste shopping list
- olive oil shopping list
- 1 slice of provolone per serving (optional) shopping list
How to make it
- Broil the sausages until done (flip every couple minutes for about 10 minutes)
- Meanwhile, heat up a little olive oil in your 5 quart pot or dutch oven and add onions, sweat for 2-3 minutes
- Add peppers and garlic
- Sprinkle a little salt over the veg to draw out water
- Sweat several more minutes and add beans
- Add diced tomatoes
- Add Italian sausage
- Pour in chicken broth until it covers ingredients by 1 or 2 inches
- add basil, oregano and red pepper flakes (a couple teaspoons each of basil and oregano if dry, double if fresh and between a pinch and a teaspoon of red pepper flakes depending on how into spicy you are)
- Grind in pepper to taste.
- Bring to a boil, turn down to a simmer and allow to cook for at least 20 minutes.
- When you serve it, if you choose lay a slice of provolone over each serving of soup. (Trust me, it rocks)

Good soup! I did this a bit different and cut it in half. I had two garlic sausages to use up. I cut them up and added them to the onions (1/2 cup) to cook them a bit. I didn't have any green pepper but my can of tomatoes had green pepper and on...more
