Ingredients
  

  • ¾ pound Italian chicken sausage links (remove casings and cut into ¼-inch pieces)
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 yellow squash sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic pressed
  • 1 carton chicken broth (32-ounce)
  • 2 cans white beans (15-ounce), drained and rinsed
  • 1 can Italian-style diced tomatoes (15-ounce)
  • 2 cups baby spinach leaves
  • ⅓ cup red wine
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 3 tbsp Pecorino Romano cheese grated

Instructions
 

Cook the Sausage

  • Heat a large pot over medium-high heat.
    Add the sausage pieces and cook until they are browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes.
    Once cooked, drain the grease from the pot and discard.

Sauté the Vegetables

  • Add the chopped onion to the pot with the sausage.
    Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
    Stir in the sliced squash and pressed garlic.
    Continue cooking for about 1 more minute, until the garlic becomes fragrant.

Add the Broth and Beans

  • Pour the chicken broth into the pot, followed by the drained beans and diced tomatoes.
    Stir everything together.
    Add the baby spinach leaves, red wine, and Italian seasoning.
    Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes, or until everything is hot and flavors meld together.

Serve and Garnish

  • Ladle the soup into bowls.
    Top each bowl with a sprinkle of grated Pecorino Romano cheese for an extra touch of flavor.
