Equipment

  • Large soup pot or Dutch oven
  • Wooden spoon
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Ladle
  • Measuring spoons and cups

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Italian sausage mild or spicy, depending on preference
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 large carrots peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery stalks chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth for a vegetarian version
  • 1 can 14.5 oz diced tomatoes
  • 1 can 15 oz cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups fresh kale or spinach chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for sautéing

Instructions
 

Step 01: Cook the Sausage

  • Start by heating olive oil in your large soup pot over medium heat. Once hot, crumble the Italian sausage into the pot. Brown the sausage for about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Once browned, remove any excess fat, leaving just a small amount to flavor the soup.

Step 02: Cook the Vegetables

  • Add the diced onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, and chopped celery to the pot with the sausage. Stir occasionally and cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften and the onions are translucent.

Step 03: Add the Liquids

  • Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir to combine all the ingredients. This will be the base of your soup, and the flavors will begin to meld together.

Step 04: Add Tomatoes and Beans

  • Next, stir in the diced tomatoes and cannellini beans. Let the soup come to a gentle boil. The beans will add a creamy texture and richness, while the tomatoes bring a slight tang to balance the dish.

Step 05: Season the Soup

  • Season the soup with dried oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. These herbs will infuse the soup with aromatic flavors. Feel free to adjust the seasonings according to your taste preferences.

Step 06: Simmer the Soup

  • Reduce the heat and allow the soup to simmer for about 20 minutes, giving the flavors time to blend together. If you want a deeper flavor, you can simmer the soup for longer.

Step 07: Add the Greens

  • Add the chopped kale or spinach into the pot and stir. The greens will wilt and infuse the soup with added nutrients and color. Let them cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 08: Serve

  • Once the greens are tender, your Zuppa del Giorno Soup is ready to serve! Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy the comforting, hearty flavors.
