Ingredients

¾ pound Italian chicken sausage links, casings removed and sausages cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 onion, chopped
1 yellow squash, sliced
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1 (32 ounce) carton chicken broth
2 (15 ounce) cans white beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes
2 cups baby spinach leaves
⅓ cup red wine
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
3 tablespoons grated Pecorino-Romano cheese

Steps:

Cook sausage in a large pot over medium-high heat until cooked through and completely browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
Cook and stir onion with the sausage until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add squash and garlic; cook and stir until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute more.
Pour chicken broth, white beans, and diced tomatoes into the pot; stir. Add spinach, red wine, and Italian seasoning; bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until hot, about 15 minutes. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with Pecorino-Romano cheese to serve.
