Italian Pasta and Bean Soup image

This hearty soup is just bursting with savory flavor - which is surprising considering how easy it is to make! I make it in the morning and then cool it and put it in the frig until about 30 minutes before dinner. While I'm warming the soup up, I cook my noodles.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup diced onion
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, with liquid
4 (10 ounce) cans chicken broth (Campbell Soup)
2 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 lb bulk sausage, thoroughly cooked
8 ounces penne pasta, cooked
parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Saute first 3 ingredients in large pot until onions are very tender.
  • Add next 6 ingredients and simmer for about 20-30 minutes. Cool and store in frig for at least a couple of hours. Reheat and simmer for about 30 minutes before serving.
  • Place cooked Penne noodles in bottom of soup bowl and ladle soup over noodles.
  • Liberally sprinkle Parmesan Cheese on soup. (I like to add cheese, stir soup and add more!).
  • Serve with French Bread or rolls.
  • Note: Because I do not want the noodles to soak up the juice in my leftover soup, I do NOT add noodles directly to soup pot.
