Right now is a great time to try and find easy, warm and filling soup recipes. If you’ve checked out some of my 30Seconds recipes, you might know I love a good soup during the cooler months. I make a lot of vegetarian soups, but I saw this creamy Tuscan white bean soup recipe and just had to try it. Boy, am I happy I did! Italian sausage is so yummy and adds so much flavor to this soup. I also really appreciated being able to have this delicious filling meal on the table in just about 30 minutes!
To make this creamy Italian-inspired bean soup recipe you will need Italian sausage, onion, celery, garlic, carrots, tomato paste, dried Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes, black pepper, chicken broth, cans of great northern beans, fresh baby spinach and heavy whipping cream. The gluten-free soup quickly cooks up on the stovetop in about 20 minutes.
Serve this Italian-inspired soup recipe for dinner with your favorite side dishes. After one bite you will feel like you're sitting in an Italian countryside!

Recipe Notes
- You can use any small white beans in this recipe.
- If you prefer not to use sausage, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to sauté the vegetables and just omit sausage. The sausage does add a lot of flavor, so make sure to adjust your seasonings to taste if you omit.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
Here's how to make it:
- Put the sausage in a large soup pot or Dutch oven on the stove top over medium heat. Use a wooden spoon to break up the sausage and cook until no pink remains.
- Add celery, onion and carrots to the sausage and cook until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Add the Italian seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes,black pepper and tomato paste. Mix to combine.
- Add the drained beans and broth. Bring soup to a simmer and cookfor 7 to8 minutes, or until the carrots have become tender but not mushy.
- Add the spinach and cream. Stir until the spinach is wilted, about 3 to5 minutes.
- Serve warm with fresh bread or biscuits and enjoy!
