Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy, casings removed)

  • 1 medium onion (diced)

  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)

  • 2 carrots (peeled and sliced)

  • 2 celery stalks (sliced)

  • 1 red bell pepper (diced)

  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes

  • 2 cans (15 oz each) white beans (cannellini or great northern), drained and rinsed

  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 2 cups fresh spinach or chopped kale (optional)

  • Fresh parsley and grated Parmesan for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

  2. Add sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through—about 6–7 minutes.

  3. Add onion, carrots, celery, and bell pepper. Cook for 5 minutes until veggies begin to soften.

  4. Stir in garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute.

  5. Add diced tomatoes (with juice), white beans, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil.

  6. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 15–20 minutes, until vegetables are tender and flavors have melded.

  7. Stir in spinach or kale (if using) and cook for 2–3 more minutes until wilted.

  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  9. Serve hot, topped with fresh parsley and Parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • Swap sausage with turkey sausage or plant-based sausage for a lighter or vegetarian version.

  • For a thicker stew, mash a few of the white beans with the back of a spoon before serving.

  • This stew freezes well—perfect for batch cooking.
