Instructions

Brown Sausage: Heat a large pot over medium-high heat and spray with oil. Crumble sausage into the pot and cook until browned, about 7 minutes. Remove sausage and set aside.
Sauté Vegetables: Add olive oil, onion, and garlic to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in Italian seasoning.
Add Beans and Broth: Add cannellini beans and broth to the pot.
Blend Soup: Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender and blend until smooth. Return to the pot.
Add Sausage and Potatoes: Add the cooked sausage, potatoes, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil.
Simmer: Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
Add Spinach: Stir in spinach and simmer for 1 minute more. Serve hot.

Notes

For a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes before adding the spinach.
You can use any type of sausage you like, but Italian sausage adds the best flavor.
If you don’t have cannellini beans, you can substitute Great Northern beans or navy beans.
For a spicier soup, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
This soup can be made ahead of time and reheated on the stovetop or in the microwave.
