Italian Sausage, White Bean and Spinach Soup is the perfect soup for a cool Fall day. It's delicious and quick to prepare.

If I had to declare my favorite thing to cook, it would undoubtedly be soup. Soups of all kinds. From thin, watery broths to rich, thick almost-stews. I like them all.

They can cool you down in summer or warm you in winter. They make you feel better when you're under the weather and can satisfy a rumbly tummy when nothing else will.

I spend much of my time in the kitchen making soups of one kind or another. Long, slow simmering soups like the classic French onion and quick no-cook soups like gazpacho.

I really enjoy playing around with ingredients for soup and coming up with combinations that work well. Like this Italian Sausage, White Bean, and Spinach Soup.

This delightful soup is just perfect for the Fall season. Its Italian flavors are quite nicely satisfying and all it really needs to make it complete is a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese and some crusty bread on the side.

I topped our toasted baguette slices with roasted tomatoes and I'd encourage you to try those if you have the time.

How to Make Italian Sausage, White Bean and Spinach Soup:

Cooking sausage for Italian Sausage, White Bean, and Spinach Soup

Heat a Dutch oven or similar deep pot over medium high heat. Add the olive oil, garlic, red pepper, and Italian sausage breaking up the sausage as it cooks. I use a potato masher to break up the sausage, but a fork or spoon works, too. Cook until no pink color shows in the sausage.

Add broth, tomatoes, and spinach to Italian Sausage, White Bean, and Spinach Soup

Add the chicken broth, tomatoes with their juice (break up the tomatoes), and spinach. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer 15 minutes.

Add beans, Parmesan cheese, and salt to Italian Sausage, White Bean, and Spinach Soup

Drain the beans and add them along with the Parmesan cheese, and salt. Cook for an additional 15 minutes.

Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese. Serve with toasted baguette and roasted tomatoes (optional).

Making roasted tomatoes for Italian Sausage, White Bean, and Spinach Soup

To make the roasted tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Slice several plum tomatoes lengthwise and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the tomatoes begin to blackened on the edges.

Enjoy!
