Sausage & White Bean Soup

Submitted by: USA WEEKEND columnist Pam Anderson
Provided by: USA Weekend
Instead of starting with a hambone (which you won't have unless you've just eaten a baked ham) and dried beans (which require significant soaking and simmering time), simply open cans of chicken broth and beans. Minced prosciutto instantly transforms commercial chicken broth into a ham-flavored soup base. Italian sausage reinforces the pork flavor and makes the soup substantial and satisfying. Mashing some of the canned beans thickens the soup and gives it the body of one that's been long simmered. Sauteed onions, carrots and celery add depth of flavor and ensure the soup's homemade feel.

Sometimes simpler is better. This six ingredient bean soup recipe is a delicious combination of navy beans, carrots, onion, and bacon, simmered until the soup is thick and the beans are tender. A winner with children and adults alike.

White bean soup with spinach and leeks is a delicious and filling soup that is perfect for vegetarians if you use vegetable broth, and quick to make. I've been making this soup for years, but I really craved it when I was pregnant with my fourth child.
