Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sausage

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned. Remove the sausage, slice it, and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the chopped onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Broth and Beans

    Stir in the vegetable broth, canned white beans, diced tomatoes, and the cooked sausage. Bring to a boil.

  4. 4

    Add Greens

    Once boiling, add the chopped kale or Swiss chard. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Incorporate Focaccia

    Add the cubed focaccia bread to the soup and stir well. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the bread to soak up the flavors.

  6. 6

    Season and Serve

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve the soup hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
