What You'll Need

1 medium-sized onion, peeled, cut in half, and sliced
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/2 pound fresh Italian sausage
1/2 pound regular or reduced-fat fully cooked smoked sausage, sliced diagonally into 1/2-inch slices
1 (16-ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 (16-ounce) can chick peas, rinsed and drained
1 (14-1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 cup chicken broth

What to Do

Coat a large saucepan with cooking spray; add onion and garlic, and cook over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes, just until the onion is softened.
Remove Italian sausage from casing and add to saucepan. Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add sliced smoked sausage and cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until Italian sausage is cooked through and no pink remains.
Pour off drippings then stir in remaining ingredients. Mix gently, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer 5 minutes.
Uncover and cook over medium-low heat for 5 to 10 minutes to blend the flavors.
