Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the smoked sausage slices and cook until browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the sausage and set aside.

In the same pot, add the diced onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and add the drained cannellini beans, kidney beans, and the bay leaf. Stir well.

Return the browned smoked sausage to the pot. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.

Step 8

Cover the pot partially with a lid and let the soup simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaf and stir in the baby spinach. Allow it to wilt for 2-3 minutes.

Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.
