I hope everyone had a great Monday. It's been super cold here in Minnesota these last few weeks.
I'm talking about the kind of cold that will freeze you to the core within a matter of minutes. These are the days I truly question why I live in Minnesota.
On the other hand, I absolutely love the four seasons we have and enjoy every minute of spring and fall.
Soup is always the best food to make when it's cold outside and this Sausage and White Bean Soup sure warms you up on those cold winter days!
My daughter, Ella and I loved this soup SO much! The broth is super flavorful, there's tons of protein from the sausage and beans, and there's a great variety of vegetables.
It's so hearty and filling. This is a pretty big batch of soup, so you might have leftovers for lunches, which is great because it's almost better leftover. This soup also freezes really well. We love these containers for leftovers.
Cannellini beans make an appearance often here on the blog.
In fact, we love all beans at our house! Cannellini beans originate in Italy, but are popular in the US. They have a silky texture, nutty flavor and are full of fiber.
I prefer these over other white beans, but any white bean would be great in this soup! You can also use any variety or flavor of diced tomatoes, turkey, chicken or pork sausage, or any time of small pasta.

We also love using elbow macaroni pasta a lot in recipes at our house!
It's so reasonable when buying by the case at Sam's Club or from Amazon, it doesn't take long to cook, and the texture holds up so well in soups and sauces.
I sometimes boil big batches of macaroni at once, and use it through the week for easy meals that call for macaroni that's already cooked.
I use Ziploc Gallon Bags to store in the refrigerator and store it for up to 3-4 days.
You can add or substitute with the following ingredients:
- shell or other small pasta
- mushrooms
- celery
- flavored diced tomatoes
- frozen corn
- ground beef
- frozen peas
- fresh basil, thyme or parsley
- ground turkey
- black beans
- top with parmesan cheese
- rotel
- bell pepper
- spicy sausage
