Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 12 ounces smoked sausage or Italian sausage
• 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
• 1 medium (diced) bell pepper (any color)
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 15 ounces canned white beans (such as cannellini or navy beans)
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Slice the smoked sausage into rounds or half-moons. Add the sausage to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove the sausage and set it aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), drained and rinsed white beans, smoked paprika, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and reduce the heat to low. Cover and let cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm. This pairs well with crusty bread, rice, or a simple green salad.
