Ingredients
- ⅓ cup oil (fill a ⅓ measuring cup halfway with olive oil and half with veg oil)
- 1 Tbsp garlic, minced
- ¼ tsp red pepper flake
- 1¼ cups chicken broth, divided
- 1 pound fresh spinach, preferably pre-washed
- 1 - 15oz can cannellini beans (white kidney beans) DON'T DRAIN!!!
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 2 links Italian sausage
- garlic salt
- black pepper
- grated parmesan, for garnish
- rustic bread/garlic bread, for serving
Instructions
- In a small pan over medium low heat, add oil, garlic, and chili. Heat for 20 minutes. Keep watch on this, we want it to be warm enough to get infused, but not so hot as to fry.
- While the oil is getting infused, place a medium pot/dutch oven over medium heat. Add ¼ cup chicken broth and spinach. Smash that shit down and cover. Cook until wilted.
- Once spinach is cooked down, add remaining 1 cup chicken broth, beans PLUS liquid from can, and zest. After oil has infused for 20 minutes, add it all to spinach mixture. Cover and continue to simmer.
- Remove sausage from casing. In a small/medium pan over medium heat, heat up a splash of olive oil and add Italian sausage meat. Cook until browned through.
- Taste soup and adjust seasoning with garlic salt and pepper. It will be VERY spinach-heavy and that's ok! It's supposed to be!
- Divide soup into bowls and top with Italian sausage and parmesan. Serve with rustic bread to suck shit up and ENJOY!!!
