Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb spicy Italian sausage
- 4 garlic cloves sliced
- 1 medium onion diced
- 3 celery ribs chopped
- 2 (15oz) cans cannellini beans drained
- 1 large russet potato cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1/4 cup sliced sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 tbsp capers with juice
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 (14.5oz) can full fat coconut milk or milk of choice
- Kosher salt and pepper to taste
- 2 handfuls fresh baby spinach
- 2 tbsp Italian parsley finely chopped
- Optional: shredded parmesan cheese and crusty bread
Instructions
- In a large soup pot, sauté the sausage until it is no longer pink. Stir in the garlic, onion, celery, and continue to sauté, over medium heat, for 5 more minutes.
- Add the beans, potato, sun-dried tomatoes, capers, broth and coconut milk.
- Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and partially cover with a lid. Simmer the soup for 20-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Once the soup is ready, remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper to your taste, and while still hot add in the spinach and stir to wilt.
- Garnish the bowls with freshly chopped parsley and shredded parmesan, if desired.
Notes
- Storing in the refrigerator: Once the soup has cooled, transfer it to an airtight container. It will last in your fridge for about 3-4 days.
- To freeze: Once completely cool, place it in a freezer ziplock bag or airtight container, and label it with the date. Leave a small amount of room for it to expand as it freezes. It will be kept in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- To reheat: Thaw overnight in the fridge. Reheat over low heat on the stovetop or in 30-second intervals in the microwave. Once you remove it, if it has separated and needs to be thickened, you can stir in some cornstarch or flour.
