Tips:

  • For a vegetarian or vegan version of this soup, omit the sausage and add an extra can of cannellini beans. You can also add roasted vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and onions.
  • Use a good quality Italian sausage for the best flavor. If you can't find Italian sausage, you can substitute another type of sausage, such as breakfast sausage or chorizo.
  • If you don't have time to cook the sausage beforehand, you can brown it in a skillet over medium heat before adding it to the soup.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the soup, such as diced carrots, celery, or zucchini. You can also add a handful of chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley or basil.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers for dipping.

Conclusion:

This hearty cannellini and sausage soup is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover sausage. The soup is packed with flavor and is sure to please everyone at the table.
