Cannellini Bean and Sausage Soup with Tomatoes and Basil
Variation of recipe by Kalyn

2 cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
4 links pre-cooked chicken or turkey sausage, any flavor
2-3 tsp. olive oil
1/2 large onion, choppped
1 T minced garlic
1 (14.5 oz) can petite dice tomatoes with juice
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. dried marjoram
2 cups chicken stock
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup chopped basil
1 T balsamic vinegar

Cut sausage into half lengthwise, then cut into half-moon shaped slices. Heat about 1 tsp. olive oil in heavy dutch oven or soup pot, then saute sausage until well browned, about 5 minutes. When sausage is well-browned, remove to bowl, then add chopped onion and saute about 2 minutes, adding more oil if needed. After 2 minutes, add chopped garlic and saute about 2 minutes more.
 

Add tomatoes and juice, dried oregano, dried marjoram, and chicken stock to pot with onions and garlic. Add sausage back to pot, then cook at very low simmer about 30 minutes, until flavors are well blended and liquid is slightly reduced. After 30 minutes. add drained beans and simmer about 15 minutes more.

When beans have simmered 15 minutes, add chopped basil and balsamic vinegar and simmer 5 minutes more.

I make this soup quite a bit - sometimes adding some fresh or frozen spinach.

It's delicious....
