Ingredients
- 6 sausages
- ½ tbsp olive oil
- 2 shallots diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tbsp Dijon mustard
- ½ tbsp tomato paste
- 28 oz (800g) cannellini beans drained and rinsed
- 2 potatoes peeled and cubed
- 1 apple peeled and cubed (optional)
- 4 cups (1 liter) chicken broth
- ¼ cup (60ml) cream heavy / double
- 4 tbsp fresh basil roughly chopped
- Pecorino or Parmesan cheese grated, to taste
- pinch red pepper flakes
- salt and pepper to season
Instructions
- Remove the sausage meat from the casings. Heat the olive oil in a large pot and fry the sausage meat, breaking it up so it browns nicely. Transfer to a bowl using a slotted spoon.
- Add the shallots, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning and sauté until softened, about five minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds or so.
- Add the cannellini beans and use a potato masher to partially mash them – this will help thicken the soup.
- Stir in the mustard and tomato paste. Add the potatoes, apple (if using), and the chicken broth and sausages and bring to a simmer.
- Cook over low heat for 30 minutes or until the potatoes are very soft.
- Stir in the cream and chopped basil. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve with a generous grating of Pecorino or Parmesan cheese and pinch pepper flakes.

Notes
