Sausage Soup
Description
This Sausage Soup begins by browning Italian sausage with minced garlic in a stockpot. Beef broth, stewed Italian-style tomatoes, and sliced carrots are then added along with seasoning, and the mixture simmers covered to meld the flavors and soften the carrots. Great northern beans with their cooking liquid and cubed zucchini are added next, simmering further until the zucchini softens.
Finally, fresh spinach is stirred in off the heat and the pot is covered to allow the residual heat to gently wilt the leaves. This results in a hearty, savory soup with tender sausage morsels, softened vegetables that retain texture, and a mildly spiced tomato-beef broth base.
The soup serves well as a filling meal especially in cooler weather, combining protein, vegetables, and beans in a flavorful broth. It can be reheated easily and kept in the refrigerator for several days or frozen for longer storage.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 2 (14-ounce) cans beef broth
- 1 (14.5-ounce) cans stewed tomatoes Italian style
- 1 cup carrot sliced
- 1 (14.5-ounce) cans great northern bean UNdrained
- 2 small zucchini cubed
- 2 cups spinach packed, rinsed and torn
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1-2 teaspoon garlic salt with parsley flakes
Instructions
- Brown the sausage along with the garlic in a stockpot on the stove.
- Stir in the broth, tomatoes, and carrots, then season with salt and pepper.
- Reduce the heat, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Stir in the entire can of beans and zucchini cubes. Cover and simmer for another 15 minutes or until the zucchini is tender.
- Remove from the heat and add the spinach. Cover and let the soup sit for another 5 minutes. The heat in the pot will cook the spinach leaves.
Notes
- Store leftover soup in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
- For longer storage, freeze portions for up to 3-4 months and thaw before reheating.
- Reheat soup gently on stovetop or in the microwave to maintain flavors and texture.
