Rustic One Pot White Bean and Sausage Soup (My Cheat’s Tuscan Sausage Soup)

On a cold rainy day, this White Bean and Sausage Soup is just what the doctor ordered.

I came up with this recipe a few years ago whilst enjoying the solitary life in a small town in Tasmania. Well, as solitary as you can get when you are accompanied by two toddlers….

So the opposite really, but let’s just pretend shall we.

Getting up in the morning and venturing out into the chilly sea air for some sticks to get the fire going was just delightful. We had one night where the weather was so bad it turned the power off, and so we ended up cooking baked beans and toast over the fire and eating by candlelight.

Nothing Better Than Coming Home To A Pot Of Pre-Made Comforting Soup

Now don’t get me wrong, I am pretty much as far from the outdoorsy type as you can get, so this was definitely a novelty for me.

In fact, I think I have been camping once in my whole life, I was twenty years old, and I cried…

We have this pot and love it for making soups and stews. We received it as a wedding present a million years ago and it is still as perfect now as it was then.

After a long day, I love nothing better than coming home to a big pot of this Rustic One Pot White Bean and Sausage Soup already prepared and ready to be slurped down.

It’s one you can always guarantee the kids will eat without any hassle.

For reals.

What Ingredients Are Needed For This Sausage and Bean Soup?

White Bean and Sausage Soup is rustic, hearty and filling and is the perfect accompaniment to a cold and rainy day. It will warm you to the core in no time at all.

We ate every last drop and there wasn’t a peep out of anyone for the entire meal.

I for one always take as a good sign (unless it’s because someone is super grumpy).

You are going to need:

  • sausages
  • celery
  • carrot
  • onion
  • diced tomatoes
  • white beans
  • vegetable stock for a homemade stock look here
  • parsley
  • cheddar cheese

Enjoy this scrumptious soup with some fresh bread and a sprinkle of sharp cheddar on top.

Potato Biscuits using Leftover Mashed Potatoes
Homemade Fluffy Potato Bread Rolls make the perfect accompaniment to this Tuscan sausage soup.

Substitutions To Make This Cheat’s Tuscan Sausage Soup Your Own

This soup is:

  • prepared in one pot,
  • easily meal prepped,
  • suitable for freezing,
  • gluten-free (check the ingredients in your sausages),
  • kid-friendly.

If you are vegetarian (or feeding a vegetarian), you can totally get away without the sausage. Simply add more beans and you will have all the protein you need for a well-balanced meal.

For a vegan, you can omit the cheese as well and either serve as is or serve with a sprinkle of nutritional yeast on top so you still get that little bit of cheesiness.

Happy eating.

      Haha be careful what you wish for 🙂 I was craving colder weather and some rain after 6 months of ‘perfect’ weather. Now that I have had rain for two weeks straight I am so over it 🙂
