Savory, steaming and nourishing for both body and soul, there&#8217;s no wonder we crave it when we&#8217;re feeling lousy. Luckily, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/classic-homemade-soup-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/classic-homemade-soup-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">homemade soup<\/a> is the ultimate one-pot meal. Take this white bean and sausage soup, for example. It has kale, barley and a herb-scented tomato broth, it can be scaled up or down, and it freezes well, so you can store it for another day. It&#8217;s nutritious, filling and comforting, making a satisfying main dish, especially when paired with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/side-salad-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/side-salad-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">side salad<\/a> and bread.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for White Bean and Sausage Soup<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Italian sausage:<\/strong> Use a mild or spicy pork sausage, or a combination of both for this Italian sausage and bean soup. This recipe calls for bulk sausage, but if all you have is link sausage, simply remove the casings and add it to the pot, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Onion:<\/strong> Yellow onions are a foundational flavor for many soups, but you can also use white or Vidalia onions if those are the only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-onions\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/types-of-onions\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">types of onions<\/a> you have on hand.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic:<\/strong> Slices of fresh garlic will mellow as they cook, and their flavor won&#8217;t be overpowering.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reduced-sodium chicken broth:<\/strong> Soup is notoriously high in sodium, so using reduced-sodium broth is an excellent way to help keep those levels in check. Any of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-chicken-broth-brands\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-chicken-broth-brands\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">best chicken broth brands<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-chicken-broth\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-chicken-broth\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">homemade chicken broth<\/a> will work well in this soup.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Canned pinto or cannellini beans:<\/strong> The mild, earthy flavor of these beans is a great partner for salty sausage, and this plant-based protein transforms any soup into a filling meal. Pintos are smaller and darker, while cannellini or white kidney beans are larger. You can substitute other varieties, like Great Northern beans, red kidney beans, black beans, or chickpeas.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Canned diced tomatoes:<\/strong> The natural acidity of tomatoes helps balance this soup&#8217;s other flavors and meld them together. Don&#8217;t drain the can; you want to add the juices to achieve the perfect texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Medium pearl barley:<\/strong> This grain is a nutritious alternative to rice, adding the perfect amount of chewiness to this hearty soup.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Carrot and celery:<\/strong> Along with onion, carrot and celery are essential ingredients in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-mirepoix\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-mirepoix\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mirepoix<\/a>, the traditional aromatic base for many soups. Carrot brings a bit of sweetness, while celery adds a fresh vegetal flavor. Cut each to around the same size so they cook simultaneously in the soup.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fresh sage:<\/strong> This herb has a long growing season, so you can usually find the fuzzy leaves well into soup season. It pairs well with other earthy flavors, like root vegetables and pork, so it&#8217;s no surprise that it works well in this recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fresh or dried rosemary:<\/strong> This woodsy herb can be potent, so a little goes a long way. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/fresh-to-dried-herb-conversion\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/fresh-to-dried-herb-conversion\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fresh-to-dried herb conversion<\/a> is a 3-1 ratio, or 3 teaspoons of fresh to every 1 teaspoon of dried.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kale:<\/strong> This robust green is ideal for soup because it maintains its texture even after simmering. You can use the more common curly variety or the dark-green lacinato kale, sometimes called Tuscan or dinosaur kale.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Brown the sausage and aromatics<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2034856\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/White-Bean-and-Sausage-Soup-FT24_41317_JR_0814_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"In a Dutch oven, cooking sausage and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; carrot, celery, sage on wooden board\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, cook and stir the sausage and onion until the meat is no longer pink, six to seven minutes.

After removing the soup from the heat, stir in some heavy cream or coconut milk for a creamy consistency and flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store White Bean and Sausage Soup<\/h2>\n<p>If you plan to enjoy this soup within a few days, transfer it to airtight storage containers (preferably shallow ones), and let it cool on the counter before covering the containers with lids and placing them in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does white bean and sausage soup last?<\/h3>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t eat all the white bean and sausage soup immediately, it can be refrigerated for up to four days.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze white bean and sausage soup?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, white bean and sausage soup <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/freezing-soup\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/freezing-soup\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">freezes quite well<\/a>. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to airtight, freezer-safe containers or zip-top bags. Do not overfill, as the soup will expand slightly when frozen. Squeeze as much air out as possible when closing the container or bag, then store the soup in the freezer for up to three months.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you reheat white bean and sausage soup?<\/h3>\n<p>If your soup is refrigerated, you can reheat it in the microwave or on the stovetop. If frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or use the defrost setting on your microwave before reheating it at full power. As the soup reheats, you may need to add more broth; barley tends to soak up liquid.<\/p>\n<h2>White Bean and Sausage Soup Tips<\/h2>\n<h3>Can I make white bean and sausage soup in a slow cooker or pressure cooker?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you can make this soup in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/slow-cooker\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/slow-cooker\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">slow cooker<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-get-the-most-out-of-your-instant-pot\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-get-the-most-out-of-your-instant-pot\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instant Pot<\/a>.

Went to the store this morning to buy the ingredients I didn\u2019t have and made the recipe this evening. It was really good. Turned out nice and thick, which is the way I like soup! Since there was no fresh sage or rosemary to be had, I used dried. I also added about \u00bc teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Should have added a bit more. This was very good with the Italian sausage, but I think it would work well with ham. Unfortunately, the husband won\u2019t even touch it because there\u2019s kale in it, but it\u2019s his loss! I would definitely make it again. Very hearty and filling. Great soup to have for the damp, foggy, chilly weather we\u2019re having.
