WHITE BEAN AND SAUSAGE SOUP
Spring is almost here. I can feel it in the air. It’s in the mid-70’s here and it’s gorgeous. My mother-in-law texted me from Denver and they are buried in snow!
So I guess there are couple more soup days left until spring is officially here. This soup is beyond easy. It definitely qualifies for a “No-cooking” Friday.
This White Bean and Sausage Soup recipe is from my friend Stephanie who has given me so many great recipes over the years.
This soup has only a few ingredients but is packed with flavor. Even my kids who were hating on the looks of it, devoured this soup.
WHAT KIND OF SAUSAGE DO I USE?
When I’m making it for my kids I use mild sausage but when I make it for adults I like to use a spicy sausage.

Notes

Made this tonight for supper and it was great. Followed the recipe except I added onion and celery while frying the sausage. Came out fantastic! Thanks for the recipe!
Aw thank you!
I assume by looking at the picture that you remove the sausage from the casing and brown it first…?
Yes! You can also buy sausage not in the casing.
This is my first try at a bean soup recipe and it made a believer out of me! Excellent #healthysoup #6ingredients.
Thank you!
what happened to the instructions?
Looks like a bug in the recipe card. I will add it.
Delicious soup. Added a dash of fresh grated Parmesan at serving. Will add onion next time and there WILL be a next time!
Love this recipe! Thank you so much for sharing. I have gluten issues so I made Chebe brand gluten free Focaccia flat bread and added cheddar cheese to the mix ( this is a very savory bread). Dinner was a hit everybody loved it. This soup is a “MUST TRY”.
This was so easy and delicious! I browned the Italian sausage and added some chopped onion to it. I sautéed the onion, garlic and sausage together then added the rest of the stuff. Was the bomb!
Since there are not directions, I’m going to cook the sausage, drain and add the garlic for a minute or so, then dump it all in the crock pot on high for a few hours with some chopped kale. In the photo, you can tell the basil is sprinkled on top so that’s what I’ll do. Or I might just put in on the stovetop and cook in a pot, bring to boil and simmer for a good 20-30 minutes. Since most of the ingredients are pre-cooked, it’s pretty much a no brainer.
Where’s the cooking instructions?
I have wondered the very same thing ! I’m making this for supper tonight ! I cooked the sausage on the stove dumped everything else in the crockpot and will let it merry for a few hours and maybe the last couple of hours cooking add in the fresh basil ! Hope this is right 🙂
Why aren’t there any instructions? Just a list of ingredients?
cant get instrution for the sausage a d beans soup
How long do you cook it? Crock pot or Dutch oven?
I have been searching for pork recipes since my hubby shot a couple wild hogs this winter for our freezer. We had it processed & some was made into spicy ground sausage so it worked *perfectly* for this soup! I did (generously) sub dried basil for fresh since I didn’t have it on hand. And, even though I cut the recipe in half for our family, I still used 2 cans of italian tomatoes. Oh, and I didn’t have chicken broth on hand so I used chicken bullion. This soup recipe is a definite keeper for our family! We LOVED it! And, I loved how easy & fast it was to make. Double Bonus! 🙂
Save on cleaning and cook sausage in large pot. When cooking use some dried Basil, when almost finished use chopped fresh basil and stir in ( If you buy that fresh basil at market ), will save some cash. I would use more fresh garlic. Use some good Olive oil too.
Looks like some tasty eats – and perfect for this cold weather! 🙂
@rachel, the soup yields about 18-20 cups.
How many cups of soup does this yield?
Wow, this is REALLY good. I am up for anything with fresh basil, so when I looking for a new dinner idea this soup caught my eye. Since my parents were going to be eating with us and my dad is on a strict diet I made a couple of modifications: instead of sausage I used ground turkey (italian flavored) and added 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (to add some heat). Instead of chicken broth I used chicken bullion. I also added an extra can of beans. SOOOOO yummy, I bet it is even better with the original ingredients, but if you are trying to watch your weight, these modifications might be helpful. Thanks so much for sharing this GREAT recipe. It is definitely going to be a staple dinner from now on.
Okay, I am so making this for lunch this coming week. I can’t imagine this being anything but yummy!
I’m eating it right this minute…and I’m very happy!
I’m not typically a soup person – (I have problems considering it actual food) – but this looks like my kind of soup! Fresh, hearty, gorgeous! Love your photos.
Looks great, I’m going to be trying this soon. Now following your yummy blog
One of my favorites!
This sounds so good! I love soup…and make it all the time!
