Quick and Healthy Soup

This Italian white bean soup is one of my favorites when I’ m looking for a hearty soup. The cannellini beans and the sausage make this a high protein meal with about 35g per serving as well as high in fiber. It’s also a great gluten free soup. You can even turn it into a vegan or vegetarian white bean soup by simply swapping the turkey sausage out for a plant based sausage and using vegetable stock in place of chicken stock.

Serves 4.  Prep Time: 5 mins. Cook Time: 25 mins. Total Time: 30 mins

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound Italian turkey sausage (casing removed and crumbled)
