How to Make Butter Bean And Sausage Soup

  1. Drain one (15-ounce) can of butter beans and puree them with 2 cups of chicken broth using an immersion blender or regular blender.
  2. Brown 1 pound Italian sausage (removed from casings) in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Drain off excess grease.
  3. Add the pureed beans, remaining 2 cups of chicken broth, 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), the remaining (15-ounce) can of butter beans (undrained), 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine.
  4. Bring the soup to a boil, then add 1 cup small pasta (like ditalini or elbow macaroni).
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked through.
  6. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional) before serving. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
