Time 2h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 pound hot Italian sausage
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 large onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
1 russet potato, cubed
5 stalks celery, diced
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 cup red wine
1 (32 fluid ounce) container beef broth
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 cup uncooked rotini pasta
1 cup baby spinach leaves
1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
1 bunch fresh basil, chopped
salt and black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook the Italian sausages in the hot oil, turning occasionally, until browned on the outside and no longer pink in the center, 10 to 15 minutes. Set aside to cool; remove all but 1 tablespoon of grease from the pot.
  • Stir the garlic, onion, carrot, potato, and celery into the hot fat. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the onion has turned translucent, about 7 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste until no lumps remain; pour in the red wine. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the liquid has reduced by half, stirring frequently to dissolve the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the beef broth, black beans, and diced tomatoes. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 1 hour.
  • Cut the cooled sausage into 1/2-inch thick slices. Stir the sausage into the soup along with the rotini pasta, spinach, and dried oregano. Simmer until the pasta is tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in the chopped basil and season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients beforehand: Chop and measure all your ingredients before you start cooking to make the process quicker and easier.
  • Use good-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your soup will taste. Look for fresh, organic vegetables and high-quality canned tomatoes.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the spices: This recipe is a starting point, so feel free to adjust the amount of spices to your liking. If you like things spicy, add more red pepper flakes or chili powder. If you prefer a milder soup, reduce the amount of spices or omit them altogether.
  • Let the soup simmer: Simmering the soup for at least 30 minutes will help the flavors to develop and deepen. If you're short on time, you can simmer the soup for a shorter amount of time, but the flavor won't be as good.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: This soup is delicious on its own, but it's even better when topped with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include grated Parmesan cheese, crusty bread, or a dollop of sour cream.

Conclusion:

This spicy Italian soup is a hearty and flavorful meal that's perfect for a cold night. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
