Instructions
- I developed this soup because I had this leftover chicken sausage in my freezer that I had already cooked. Really, I just browned the sausage since I brought it pre-cooked. I always have a pantry stocked with canned beans, canned tomatoes, and an assortment of pasta.
- In an 8–10-quart Dutch oven, heat 3-4 T of extra virgin olive oil over medium high heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add your onion with a pinch of kosher salt and cook 4-5 minutes until translucent.
- Now, add your sausage and brown. This will take another 5-7 minutes. Once the sausage has browned, add your garlic, and stir for one minute.
- Now add your chicken broth/stock, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, bay leaf, cannellini beans, diced tomatoes (juice and all) and your spinach. Bring this to a low boil, partially cover and cook for 20 minutes.
- Now, add your pasta (cover now off), kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Cook the pasta according to package directions. This is such a flavorful and hearty soup. I can eat this anytime of year!
- Enjoy!
