**Italian Sausage and Bean Soup: A Hearty and Flavorful Dish**

When the weather turns cold, there's nothing quite like a warm and hearty bowl of soup to warm you up. This Italian sausage and bean soup is the perfect comfort food. It's packed with flavor, thanks to the combination of Italian sausage, beans, and vegetables. Plus, it's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover Italian sausage, but you can also use fresh sausage if you prefer. Just be sure to brown the sausage before adding it to the soup so that it can develop its full flavor. The soup is also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. It's loaded with carrots, celery, and onions, as well as beans. And because the soup is simmered for a long time, the vegetables have a chance to really soften and release their flavor.

The best part about this soup is that it's so versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your own taste. For example, if you like spicy food, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes. Or, if you want a more creamy soup, you can stir in some heavy cream at the end. No matter how you make it, this Italian sausage and bean soup is sure to be a hit.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE, BEAN AND MACARONI SOUP



Italian Sausage, Bean and Macaroni Soup image

A family favorite for many years. This soup is even better if made a day ahead to blend flavors, just rewarm on top of the stove, and serve with crusty buns. You can add in precooked pasta, any kind you desire to the soup, in place of small uncooked pasta. You can use turkey sausage in place of the Italian sausage.

BLACK BEAN & ITALIAN SAUSAGE SOUP



Black Bean & Italian Sausage Soup image

This is one of my favourite soups-as-a-meal dish. It is very hearty and is a good comfort food on a cold day. This recipe is a great way to use Italian Sweet Sausage (hot sausage would be good too). Eden black soy beans can be used for the carb conscious--skip the optional rice or pasta addition.

Provided by Signlady

Categories     Clear Soup

Time 55m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 slices bacon, chopped
1 onion, chopped in medium sized pieces
4 Italian sausages, removed from casings, broken up
2 small yellow peppers or 2 small orange peppers, chopped
4 cups chicken stock (I used 900ml container-low salt)
2 (14 ounce) cans black beans or 2 (14 ounce) cans black soybeans, drained and rinsed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon garlic powder
salt, pepper, pepper flakes
left over rice (*optional-see note below) or pasta (*optional-see note below)

Steps:

  • In a large soup pot on medium heat, fry the bacon bits to get some fat to coat the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the garlic powder, chopped onion, chopped peppers, and Italian sausage broken up into chunks. Fry on medium heat until the sausage is no longer pink.
  • Add the chicken stock, 1/2 tsp of cumin and one can of black beans. Simmer covered for 30 minutes.
  • Use an immersion blender to blend some of the soup so that there are still lots of unblended chunks--about 10-15 seconds on high.
  • Add the other can of drained, rinsed beans and 1/2 tsp of cumin.
  • Season with salt, pepper and/or pepper flakes if you like it spicy.
  • Simmer for another 10 minutes.
  • *Serve with a dollop of sour cream if desired. I also serve it over a couple of tablespoons of leftover rice or pasta in each bowl to make it a hearty meal.

CREAMY WHITE BEAN & ITALIAN SAUSAGE SOUP



Creamy White Bean & Italian Sausage Soup image

This recipe was in a little recipe pamphlet DH received in the mail. I added extra seasonings and increased the cooking times. I served it with hot crusty sourdough bread and it made a wonderful cold weather soup. As an added bonus using canned beans makes it a very quick and easy dish to put together. I like using the parmesean cheese and DH likes the extra "kick" of the crushed red peppers.

ITALIAN BEAN AND SAUSAGE SOUP



Italian Bean and Sausage Soup image

This soup has become a family favourite through the years. It comes together fairly quickly, but more importantly, it tastes good. I have "excellent" written in the margin.

Provided by Sweet PQ

Categories     Pasta Shells

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 ounces sweet Italian sausage (I use hot)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup onion, chopped
2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 (28 ounce) can plum tomatoes
3 1/2 cups hot water
2 cups medium pasta shells
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1 (19 ounce) can cannellini beans (white kidney beans)

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a 4 quart pot. Remove sausage from casing & crumble into oil. Stir in the onions and garlic. Cook over "high" heat, stirring often, until the sausage browns (about 5 minutes).
  • Meanwhile, cut up the tomatoes right in the can (use kitchen shears).
  • Add tomatoes w' juice, water, pasta and bouillon cubes to the pot. Bring to boil over "high" heat, stiring a couple of times. Lower heat, cover & simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, rinse and drain the beans. Add to the soup and simmer for 5 minutes, or until pasta is tender and the beans are heated through.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the soup will be. Look for fresh vegetables, flavorful sausage, and a good quality chicken broth.
  • Sauté the vegetables before adding them to the soup. This will help to develop their flavor and give the soup a richer taste.
  • Use a variety of beans. This will give the soup a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include cannellini beans, black beans, and kidney beans.
  • Add some greens to the soup. This will help to brighten the flavor and add a pop of color. Some good options include kale, spinach, and Swiss chard.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You may also want to add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

Italian sausage bean soup is a hearty, flavorful, and satisfying soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover sausage. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and nutritious meal that the whole family will enjoy.
