Spicy Sausage and Bean Soup

SERVES: 8

COOK TIME: 35 Min

What's the best part about a comforting bowl of this spicy sausage and bean soup recipe? Could it be that it's so chock-full of hearty ingredients that it's an easy main-dish soup...meaning we don't have to make another thing for dinner?!

What You'll Need

1 teaspoon olive oil
1 pound bulk hot sausage (see Note)
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 (15-1/2-ounce) cans Great Northern beans, undrained
2 (14-ounce) cans ready-to-use chicken broth
1 (14-1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

What to Do

In a large soup pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, onion, and garlic; cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until no pink remains in the sausage, stirring frequently to break up the meat.
Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes.

Note

I like this soup spicy, but if you prefer to use a mild sausage, or even turkey sausage, go ahead. Make it your own!

Outstanding. Used most of these ingredients, kicked it up with some leftover ratatouille. Family loves it!

I love to bake

We NEVER tire of this soup. I substitute mild Italian Sausage (bulk) for the hot Italian and cut back on the amount of bean (2-3 cans). This is so simple and ready to bring to the table in less than 45 minutes. Serve with crusty bread and a big salad and you have a complete meal. I have gotten many requests for this recipe. Love it.!!
