White Bean & Sausage Soup

March 14, 2018
White Bean & Sausage Soup is loaded with celery, cabbage, tomatoes, hearty white beans, and sausage ~ it's one of our all-time favorite soups.

Temperatures may be starting to warm up a bit, but my tastebuds still turn to a bowl of warm and comforting soup for dinner.  Though truth be told, I enjoy soup so much I would happily turn toward a bowl full even in the middle of summer.

Sadly for me though, the rest of the members of my family are not soup lovers.  Whenever I make a pot of soup for dinner, I can hear the groans of discontent as I carry the pot of deliciousness to the table.

Even if you have non-soup lovers in your home, grab some sausage and simmer up a big pot of this soup. Once they dig in, it may just become one of their favorites, too.

Fortunately I have indeed found at least two exceptions to their dislike of soup ~ two pots of soul-warming deliciousness that do not elicit their soup-discontent reaction.  Hearty Kielbasa Potato Soup ... and this flavor-loaded White Bean & Sausage Soup.

This soup delivers a delicious combination of white beans, sausage {regular or turkey}, celery, tomatoes, and cabbage.  It's loaded with flavor, and a high ratio of "stuff" to broth ~ which is why my crew likes it.

They gravitate to hearty, flavor-loaded soups that are not broth-y.  If you'd like it with more broth than we do though, simply add a bit more chicken broth when preparing it.  I'd recommend adding up to 3 more cups of broth, if desired.

White Bean & Sausage Soup also comes together fairly quickly enough to be a viable weeknight meal option.  You simply cook up some sausage in a large saucepan or Dutch oven, and then saute a mixture of onion, celery, and cabbage in that same pot.  Add chicken broth, tomatoes, and seasonings and simmer for a bit to let the flavors come together.

White Bean & Sausage Soup comes together fairly quickly enough to be a viable weeknight meal option.

Total cook & simmer time is about 45 minutes, with about 15 of those minutes being hands-on time.

Or, make the soup ahead of time and reheat it on the stove top or in the microwave for an even quicker weeknight meal.  It reheats well.

A bowl full is just perfect served up with a big hunk of homemade cornbread for these still-cool late winter days we have coming up.

  1. Great idea on the white beans, Tracey! I couldn't think of anything good and had lots of other stuff going on this week, so I bailed on this challenge. Too bad I didn't think of white beans because I also have a great white bean soup recipe to share. Oh well! Your soup looks delicious!

  6. Made this soup for dinner tonight. Delicious. I didn't have stewed tomatoes so I used diced and two cans of beans to make it a bit more hearty. With turkey sausage, this is very healthy!

  7. I made this soup for dinner this week and it was so Good! I did make some changes. I didn't have any beans, so I used brown rice. I also used diced tomatoes and Hot Italian sausage. My husband liked it too and asked that I make this again! Thanks for sharing this recipe.
