How to Make Spicy Pasta Bean And Sausage Soup

  1. Drain and rinse one (15-ounce) can of cannellini beans. Reserve 1 cup of the beans for pureeing; set aside the remaining beans.
  2. Place the reserved 1 cup of beans in a blender and puree until completely smooth.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  4. Add 1 pound Italian sausage (removed from casings), 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes.
  5. Cook the sausage, breaking it up with a fork, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
  6. Stir in 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and cook for 1 minute more.
  7. Add the bean puree, remaining cannellini beans, 4 cups of chicken broth, and 1 cup of your favorite pasta (ditalini, small shells, or elbow macaroni work well).
  8. Bring the soup to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until the pasta is tender and the soup has thickened, about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  9. Stir in 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
  10. Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste.
  11. Serve immediately, passing around an additional 1 1/4 cups of grated Parmesan cheese for topping.
  12. Makes 4-6 servings.
