An easy, hearty soup that pulls together quickly and is a healthy "recovery" dish from rich holiday eating.
Ingredients
2 garlic cloves, peeled and coarsely chopped
¼ cup olive oil
1 15-ounce can of diced no-salt tomatoes, drained
1 quart (4 cups) homemade or low sodium chicken stock
2 15-ounce cans of cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 12-ounce package of precooked chicken sausages
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 6-ounce package organic baby arugula
4 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan
Instructions
Cut the chicken sausages into ½ inch-sized pieces. Set aside.
Using a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, just until garlic turns golden, about 2 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, beans and sausage. Add salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat
Add the arugula and stir, just until arugula begins to wilt, about 1 minute.
Ladle into bowls and top each portion with a tablespoon of parmesan.
