Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons canola oil or olive oil
- 2 Italian sausage hot or mild - chorizo sausage works too
- 1 onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic crushed
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup fusilli pasta or other small pasta, dry
- 1 can tomato sauce or diced tomatoes (14 oz can)
- 3 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon oregano or basil, dried
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 cups spinach loosely packed, or 1 cup chopped kale, fresh
- 2 cups white kidney beans or a 19 oz can, rinsed and drained, or red kidney beans, cooked
- Parmesan Cheese for serving, freshly grated
Instructions
- In a large saucepan set over medium heat, heat a drizzle of oil and sauté the sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is browned.
- Add the onion and garlic and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until soft.
- Add the water, pasta, tomato sauce, stock, oregano, and salt and pepper.
- Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for about 15 minutes, until the pasta is tender.
- Add the spinach and beans and cook the soup for another 3 to 5 minutes.
- If it seems too thick, thin it with a little extra stock, tomato juice, or water.
- Ladle into bowls and top each serving with grated Parmesan while still hot.
