For a richer flavor, use bone-in chicken broth. If you don't have great Northern beans, cannellini beans or other white beans work well. This soup can be made ahead of time and reheated. In fact, the flavors often improve after a day or two in the refrigerator. To make this soup vegetarian, omit the sausage and use vegetable broth. Consider adding a tablespoon of olive oil to the pot at the beginning for added richness.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a Dutch oven or large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat over medium-high heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and crumbly. Drain off any excess grease, leaving a thin layer in the pot. (5-7 minutes)
02
StepAdd the carrots, onion, celery, and garlic to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. (3-4 minutes)
03
StepPour in the chicken broth, then add the drained great Northern beans, diced tomatoes (with their juice), chopped cabbage, and Italian seasoning. Stir to combine. Bring the soup to a simmer.
04
StepReduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer until the cabbage is tender and the flavors have melded, about 20-25 minutes. (20-25 minutes)
05
StepTaste the soup and adjust seasoning as needed with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
06
StepLadle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread for dipping.
