1 lb chicken sausage (e.g., Italian flavor)
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups chopped vegetables (carrots, zucchini, spinach)
1 can (15 oz) cannellini beans
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Brown the sausage: In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken sausage, breaking it up into bite-sized pieces, and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes.
Sauté the aromatics: Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add broth and beans: Pour in the chicken broth and add the rinsed cannellini beans. Stir well to combine.
Stir in vegetables: Add your chopped vegetables to the pot. Stir everything together.
Season: Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat. Cover and let it cook for about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Adjust seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as desired.
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy! Consider serving it with crusty bread or a sprinkle of grated cheese on top.
