White Bean & Italian Sausage Soup

(From Our April 2022 Newsletter - Grandma C.)

Ingredients

1. 1 pkg ground Italian Sausage (mild or spicy)


2. 4 strips bacon, chopped


3. 1 medium onion, chopped


4. 1 TBSP minced garlic


5. 4 cans white beans


6. 2 cans chicken broth


7. 1 tsp Italian seasoning


8. ¼ tsp dried rosemary


9. ½ cup shredded carrots


10. 2 cups baby spinach


11. Salt and Pepper to taste

Brown the bacon and sausage in the soup pan over medium high heat.  Transfer meat to a plate.

In the same pan, saute the onion and garlic until lightly brown.

Add the beans, chicken broth, water and seasonings to the pan.  Stir well to mix the soup with the drippings on the bottom of the pan.

With an immersion blender, puree the soup.  It will be thick.

Then add the sausage/bacon mixture and the carrots to the pot.

Cook on medium–high heat to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes.

Stir in the spinach and let it wilt for a few minutes, sprinkle with Salt and Pepper and serve!
