Hearty Italian Sausage Soup Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound Italian sausage
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 (14 ounce) cans beef broth
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can Italian-style stewed tomatoes
• 1 cup sliced carrots
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can great Northern beans, undrained
• 2 small zucchini, cubed
• 2 cups spinach - packed, rinsed and torn

Instructions

1. Prepare all the necessary ingredients for the soup.
2. In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, heat over medium-high heat. Add the Italian sausage and minced garlic; cook, breaking up the sausage, until browned, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
3. Incorporate the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and sliced carrots into the pot; season generously with salt and black pepper. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Introduce the cannellini beans (with their liquid) and diced zucchini. Cover and continue to simmer for an additional 15 minutes, or until the zucchini reaches desired tenderness.
5. Take the soup off the heat and stir in the fresh spinach. Cover the pot again and let the spinach wilt slightly from the residual heat.
6. Mix well to ensure everything is heated through. Serve immediately and enjoy the comforting flavors of your homemade Italian sausage soup!
