Tuscan Sausage and White Bean Soup is a hearty, flavorful dish perfect for dinner any night of the week. Add some crackers and enjoy!
Tuscan Sausage and White Bean Soup
This soup comes from one of Barbara’s good friends, Maryann. It is one of those throw-it-all-together-and-enjoy kinds of soups, especially good on a cold winter’s day.
Maryann shared the recipe with Barbara years ago and it has stood the test of time and is even kid-approved.
We use regular ground pork sausage in this soup. You could use a flavored sausage, like Italian, or even use a turkey sausage if you prefer.
The white beans in this Tuscan Sausage and White Bean Soup are actually Cannellini beans. Be sure to just dump them in undrained.
Once the soup is heated through, all that is left is to ladle it out into your favorite soup bowls, add crackers and dig in!

This sounds amazing and I am going to have to try it some really cold night. My kids, when they were small, would eat just about anything that I put in front of them. Guess I was lucky that way. I don’t know where they got this pickiness now for not wanting to eat beans. Howeve, we have a family tradition of Black Eyed Peas with ham on New Year’s Day, and over the years I have kicked it up a notch or two with the addition of a jalapeno and carrot and diced potato. This is one I make from dried beans, and the family loves it! They also love the barbecued beans that I make for summer cookouts.
So I am going to make a double batch of this soup, so I can freeze some, and I’m going to enjoy it all by myself… They are on their own! Some good hearty sourdough bread with this sounds mouth watering. Thank you for the great recipes!
Isn’t it crazy how one day your kids love a food and the next day they don’t?!? Freezing a batch of this soup is a great idea! Just pull it out and you have a meal!
This was absolutely delicious!! I made this tonight.. but doubled the batch and I added about a teaspoon and a half of crushed red pepper and right before serving I added or sprinkled some fresh grated parmesan cheeses.
Love the additions, especially the parmesan cheese! So glad you liked the soup!
I love winter soups . Tuscan sqasage ànd White Bean Soup ia a great addition .
