SAUSAGE AND WHITE BEAN STEW (WEIGHT WATCHERS)
This is the first Weight Watchers recipe I've used, and, boy, am I glad I did! The stew is SO tasty and easy. Even better, the recipe can be modified according to what you have on hand. For instance, I used spinach instead of broccoli rabe and a small white onion since in the place of the red, and instead of the Italian sausage, I used kielbasa. I also added lots of red pepper flakes and some cayenne, too. So have fun with this recipe! I can hardly wait to hear what you think of it.

Steps:
- In a stockpot or large nonstick skillet, heat the oil.
- Crumble the sausage into the skillet, and cook, breaking apart with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 8 minutes. (NOTE: If you're using kielbasa, just saute briefly until it browns).
- Add the onion, garlic, basil, salt, and pepper, stirring as needed, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the broccoli rabe, tomatoes and beans; cook until the broccoli rabe is wilted, about five minutes. (If you're using fresh spinach, it will wilt! I promise.
- Just cover it with the bean and sausage mixture and let it cook for about 5 minutes).
- Top with cheese if desired and serve.
Tips:
- To save time, you can use pre-cooked beans or sausage.
- If you don't have vegetable broth, you can use chicken broth or water.
- Add more or less cayenne pepper and chili powder to taste.
- Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
- For a thicker soup, mash some of the beans before adding them to the pot.
- To make the soup heartier, add some cooked rice or pasta.
- Leftover soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Bean and sausage soup is a delicious, hearty, and healthy soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover beans and sausage. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can have a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
