How to Make Creamy Tomato Bean Soup

Step 1: Cook Your Sausage

Begin by adding a splash of olive oil to your pot, then your sausage. While that is cooking, chop the onion and mince the garlic. Once the sausage is cooked thoroughly, add in the onion and garlic cooking until fragrant. Stir in spices and cook for another minute.

Step 2: Add Broth and Canned Goods

Now add in the chicken broth, pureed tomatoes, and tomato paste, stirring well. Bring to a boil, then add the drained and rinsed beans. Stir until everything is well combined. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 3: Pour in Cream and Cheese

Lastly, we are adding in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Add more or less, whatever your prefer. The more the better in my opinion. Stir well until cheese is melted and cream is mixed in. Salt and Pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped Parsley and Red Pesto. Serve with toasted homemade bread and butter.

Enjoy!
