This tuscan white bean sausage soup is a delicious and cozy comfort meal. Everything comes together in one pot for easy cleanup!
This Tuscan White Bean and Sausage Soup is the ultimate one-pot wonder, delivering a bowl of comforting, creamy richness with minimal cleanup. It starts with hearty Italian sausage, sautéed until perfectly browned to build a flavorful foundation right in the pot.

The magic happens when you introduce the liquids: rich chicken broth and the luxurious addition of heavy cream. This combination, along with the starchiness of the creamy cannellini or great northern white beans. Creates that velvety, irresistible texture.

The soup is finished with a generous grating of fresh Parmesan cheese, which melts into the broth, lending a nutty, salty complexity that ties all the robust Italian flavors together. This is more than just soup, it’s a deeply satisfying, full bodied dish creamy, hearty, and bursting with the sun-drenched taste of Italy.

Tuscan White Bean Sausage Soup (One Pot)
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 tbs olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 2 medium carrots, finely diced
- 2 celery stalks, finely diced
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb (0.45 kg) Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1/3 cup (36.67 g) chopped sun dried tomatoes
- 3 tbs tomato paste
- 2 tsp Italian herb blend
- salt + pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup (118.29 ml) dry white wine
- 4 cups (0.95 l) chicken broth
- 30 oz cans (0.85 kg) canellini beans, drained + rinsed
- 1/2 cup (118.29 ml) heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (50 g) grated parmesan cheese
- 2 cups (60 g) baby spinach
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add in the onion, carrots, celery and sauté for 4-5 minutes or until soften. Stir in the garlic for 30 seconds. Next, add in the sausage and break up the meat until no longer pink – about 5 minutes. Drain the fat from the pot as desired. Add in the sun dried tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian herb blend, salt, pepper and stir to combine. Then, stir in the white wine to deglaze the pot. Pour in the chicken broth, beans and bring to a boil then lower heat to a simmer. Cook COVERED, for 25-30 minutes (stirring occasionally), and taste and adjust with salt or any seasonings if needed. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the heavy cream, parmesan and spinach until wilted.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in your fridge up to 4 days.
- If you don’t have sausage, you can use other ground meats like chicken, turkey or cooked bacon.
- If you don’t want to use wine simply leave it out or sub in more broth.
- Garnish with Chili Pepper Flakes for a little kick.
- Serve with some crusty French bread or a grilled cheese!
Does this freeze well with the cream added?
your tecipe above says 30 Oz cans (plural) of the beans but doesn’t say how many cans or is this meant to be one ?
Hi Cheryl, sorry for any confusion!
You will need TWO 15 OUNCE CANS of beans – so a total of 30 ounces.
My family loved it!
I’m glad it was a winner with everyone! Thanks Andrea!

Delicious. Didn’t add the wine (didn’t have any, otherwise I would have) and did add some generous shakes of cayenne pepper. So good, and it makes a ton A perfect for the snow storm coming in!

Hi Carol, That’s awesome! I’m so glad you guys both loved the soup!

Hi Susan, That means a lot to me! Thank you for trying out the dishes!!!
I don’t eat sausage. Do you think ground chicken would work or is it best to go without meat all together?
Hi Darcie, yes, you can use any ground beef you prefer in this recipe!
We love this soup. Use chicken sausage and veggie broth. It’s a meal in itself.
Hi Glenda, I agree! Thank you for the kind feedback!
