Description

This Italian sausage soup is easy to put together. The flavor of the spicy sausage is balanced nicely by the addition of white beans and spinach.

Ingredients

1 pound Italian sausage
1 clove garlic, minced
2 (14 ounce) cans beef broth
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can Italian-style stewed tomatoes
1 cup sliced carrots
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can great Northern beans, undrained
2 small zucchini, cubed

Directions

1 Gather all ingredients.
2 Heat a stockpot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add sausage and garlic; cook and stir until browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
