Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 12 ounces smoked sausage, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 2 15-ounce cans canned white beans (like cannellini), drained and rinsed
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 5 ounces baby spinach leaves
• 0 salt, to taste
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the sliced smoked sausage to the pot and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on both sides. Transfer the sausage to a plate and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion, minced garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil.

Step 5

Add the drained white beans, dried thyme, and ground black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Stir in the baby spinach leaves and the browned smoked sausage. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the spinach is wilted and the sausage is heated through.

Step 8

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt if needed.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if using. Serve hot and enjoy!
