White Bean & Sausage Soup
White Bean & Sausage Soup is loaded with celery, cabbage, tomatoes, hearty white beans, and sausage it's one of our all-time favorite soups.
Temperatures may be starting to warm up a bit, but my tastebuds still turn to a bowl of warm and comforting soup for dinner. Though truth be told, I enjoy soup so much I would happily turn toward a bowl full even in the middle of summer.
Even if you have non-soup lovers in your home, grab some sausage and simmer up a big pot of this soup. Once they dig in, it may just become one of their favorites, too.
Fortunately I have indeed found at least two exceptions to their dislike of soup two pots of soul-warming deliciousness that do not elicit their soup-discontent reaction. Hearty Kielbasa Potato Soup ... and this flavor-loaded White Bean & Sausage Soup.
This soup delivers a delicious combination of white beans, sausage {regular or turkey}, celery, tomatoes, and cabbage. It's loaded with flavor, and a high ratio of "stuff" to broth which is why my crew likes it.
They gravitate to hearty, flavor-loaded soups that are not broth-y. If you'd like it with more broth than we do though, simply add a bit more chicken broth when preparing it. I'd recommend adding up to 3 more cups of broth, if desired.
White Bean & Sausage Soup also comes together fairly quickly enough to be a viable weeknight meal option. You simply cook up some sausage in a large saucepan or Dutch oven, and then saute a mixture of onion, celery, and cabbage in that same pot. Add chicken broth, tomatoes, and seasonings and simmer for a bit to let the flavors come together.
White Bean & Sausage Soup comes together fairly quickly enough to be a viable weeknight meal option.
Total cook & simmer time is about 45 minutes, with about 15 of those minutes being hands-on time.
Or, make the soup ahead of time and reheat it on the stove top or in the microwave for an even quicker weeknight meal. It reheats well.
A bowl full is just perfect served up with a big hunk of homemade cornbread for these still-cool late winter days we have coming up.
So even if you have non-soup lovers in your home, grab some sausage and simmer up a big pot of this White Bean & Sausage Soup.
Once they dig in, it may just become one of their favorites, too.
