Ingredients:
1 lb Hot Italian Sausage
3 cups butternut squash, peeled and cut into cubes
1 medium onion
15 oz cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
14.5 oz canned diced tomatoes
2-3 cups of kale or spinach (or both!)
6 cups of chicken broth
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (omit if you do not like spice)
salt and pepper to taste
shredded parmesan for serving
Directions:
Heat a large pot over medium high and add a splash of olive oil.
Once hot, add your onions and garlic and cook until tender.
Then add ground sausage and season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking until the sausage is cooked through, make sure it has been crumbled while cooking.
Add your chicken broth and red pepper flakes. Cover and bring to a boil. Once boiling add your diced butternut squash and cannellini beans and bring it back to a boil. Boil for 10 minutes or until squash is tender. (Your squash should easily pierce with a knife once done)
Stir in diced tomatoes.
Five minutes before serving add your chopped kale or spinach until it begins to wilt.
Ladle the soup into individual bowls and sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top.
Serve and enjoy!
