Soup Base

Method

Soup Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks (about 5-7 minutes).

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, diced celery, and diced bell pepper to the pot. Sauté for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), chicken broth, drained Great Northern beans, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 4

    Simmer the Soup

    Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  5. 5

    Add Spinach

    In the last 5 minutes of cooking, stir in the fresh spinach (or kale) until wilted.

Serving

  1. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls, and garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped basil before serving.
