Key Ingredients
Try this delicious, warming soup made with the best ingredients. We love the fresh winter vegetables.
- Carrots- We like to chop baby carrots because we already have them on hand for snacking. Regular peeled carrots, chopped into rounds, work as well.
- Chicken broth- Use canned or boxed chicken broth. I use Better Than Bouillon when I need chicken broth. It's a good way to always have chicken broth on hand. Follow the instructions on the back of the package for broth measurements.
- Great northern beans- This recipe doesn't ask for the liquid, so rinse and drain in a strainer.
- Spinach- Fresh spinach chopped. If you have frozen spinach, that will work as well.
How to make White Bean and Sausage Soup
Let's make Sausage and white bean soup.
- Chop the vegetables. Chop the carrots into thin rounds, dice the white onion, and chop the kielbasa into ½ inch rounds.\
- Warm olive oil over medium heat in a large pot. Once hot, add the chopped carrots, diced onion, and kielbasa. After about 5 minutes, add the chicken broth.
- Add the drained and rinsed Great Northern beans, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer until the vegetables are tender.
- Pulse the soup 2-3 times with an immersion blender. If you don't have an immersion blender, remove 2 cups of soup a pulse with a blender. Pour the slightly blended portion back into the pot and stir.
- Last, add the spinach and stir until the spinach leaves begin to wilt.
Top Tips
I love that this meal is one pot! This way, you don't have to dirty up another pan to cook the vegetables. You can do it all in the pot your soup will end up being in.
If you don't have an immersion blender, take 2 cups of soup and pulse it in the blender. Return the blended soup to the pot and stir.

Instructions
- Start by chopping baby carrots and white onion. Cut the turkey kielbasa into 1 inch pieces.

- With an immersion blender, pulse the soup 2-3 times. You don't want to pulse the entire soup!
