Italian Sausage Minestrone for Two image

This no-fuss minestrone is perfect dinner fare on chilly days. Feeling daring? Substitute a can of butter beans or pinto beans for one of the cans of cannellini beans. I serve it with warm with crusty French bread for dipping into the broth. -Elizabeth Renteria, Vancouver, Washington

Not a fan of the Italian sausage in this recipe. I think ground beef would be a better choice.

Soup was a bit bland for my taste. Maybe I'll add more spices next time.

Tried this recipe last night and it turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of Italian sausage and added some kale. The soup was flavorful and filling.
