Hearty Italian sausage and bean soup with pasta and cabbage, perfect for a cozy winter meal.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 pounds mild Italian sausage links, casings removed
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
  • 1 (32 ounce) carton beef stock
  • 2 cups water
  • 4 cubes beef bouillon
  • 1 (16 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (15.5 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15.5 ounce) can dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15.5 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can cut green beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can Italian-style diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can sliced carrots, drained
  • 0.5 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
  • 1 (1.25 ounce) package beefy onion soup mix
  • 1.5 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 cup shell pasta
  • 0.25 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, or to taste
Instructions:
  • In a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, sizzle Italian sausage, onion, and garlic until the sausage browns and crumbles and the onion turns translucent, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Deglaze the pan by pouring in the flavorful beef stock and bringing it to a boil, gently scraping up the delicious browned bits with a wooden spoon. Stir in water and bouillon cubes.
  • Combine tomato sauce, cannellini beans, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, green beans, diced tomatoes with juice, carrots, tomato paste, soup mix, cabbage, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, pepper, and salt in a pot. Simmer over medium heat for 40 minutes.
  • Begin by bringing a generously salted large pot of water to a vigorous boil. Add in the shells and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender yet still have a bite to them, for around 9 minutes. Drain the shells.
  • After 40 minutes of simmering the soup, introduce the cooked shells into the pot. Let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Serve the soup in bowls and generously sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese on top.
