Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 cans white beans (Cannellini or Great Northern), drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups chicken broth (low-sodium)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the onion for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
  3. Add the garlic, carrots, and celery. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  4. Return the sausage to the pot, then add the white beans, chicken broth, and fresh rosemary. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 20 minutes.
  5. Remove the rosemary sprigs and discard them. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Turn off the heat and add the baby spinach. Stir until the spinach wilts completely.
  7. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

[‘Use fresh rosemary for the best flavor, but dried rosemary can be substituted.’, ‘Adjust the creaminess by reducing heavy cream and adding milk for a lighter option.’, ‘Taste often and adjust seasoning as needed.’, ‘If the soup is too thick, add extra chicken broth. If too thin, simmer longer to reduce.’]
