Ingredients

  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casing removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 2 cups fresh spinach

Instructions

  7. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
  8. For a creamier texture, mash about 1 cup of the beans and stir them back into the soup.
  9. Return the cooked sausage to the pot and simmer for 10 minutes.
  10. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted.
