White bean and sausage soup is a hearty meal made with seasoned vegetables, Italian sausage, white beans and spinach cooked in a flavorful broth.

White Bean And Sausage Soup

From the recipe collection of Tara Ippolito

This white bean and sausage soup is one of my favorite cool weather meals.

It’s the kind of recipe that is super hearty and comforting without being complicated. It’s actually really easy to put together with simple ingredients.

Plus, it’s all made in one pot. So, clean up is a breeze, too. That’s always a win for me.

Once the seasons start to shift and the temperature drops, it’s officially soup season. That’s when this recipe goes right onto my dinner menu.

Always with a loaf of Italian bread on the side for dunking. That’s the best part!

I love to make this early in the day and just leave it warm on the stove for everyone to come and eat as they please.

Luckily for me, everyone in my house is a huge soup fan. They very exited when they know this is what I’m making for dinner.

It warms everyone up and keeps them full and happy for hours.

The beans, sausage and vegetables go together so well for the perfect combination in each bite.

It’s budget-friendly, nourishing, and comes together really quickly. I’d say that’s the perfect meal for a busy weeknight or cozy, cool weekend.

I really hope you give this recipe a try. You do, I know you’ll love it just as much as my family and I do.

White Bean And Sausage Soup Variations

I like this soup recipe made just the way it is, but here are some ways to change it up if you’d like to.

  • Protein- Substitute the ground sausage for ground beef, turkey, pork or veal if you’d prefer.
  • Sausage- Both Sweet and spicy (or a combination of both) would work great in this recipe.
  • Beans- Either white beans or Great Northern Beans are ok to use here.
