Instructions
- Add a 5-quart soup pot to the stove over medium heat.
- If your sausage came in casings, cut it out and add the ground sausage meat to the soup pot.
- Break up the sausage while it browns. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the majority of the sausage is starting to look brown.
- Add in the leek, shallot, and fennel. Saute for another 10 minutes or just until the vegetables have started to soften.
- Add in the garlic and cook for another minute or just until the garlic is fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken stock and diced tomatoes and stir to combine. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the pan if there was any browning.
- Add the beans and let the soup simmer over low heat for about 10-15 minutes or until the soup smells fragrant and the vegetables seem soft.
- Stir in the pesto to add a bit more flavor to the soup.
- To serve spoon the soup into a bowl and top with a generous sprinkle of fresh basil, minced fennel fronds, and Parmesan cheese.
