Two things you should know. 1.) My daughter loves soup 2.) My daughter loves beans. So basically this is her dream recipe haha. My entire family loves this soup, my mom even messaged me for the recipe before I could even post it. The best part is that it is super easy and quick to make. You can even swap out the beans for some potatoes and it’s completely Whole30 compliant!
This is probably my favorite soup recipe that I have made and that is saying a lot because I have some amazing soup recipes! But this one is just so simple and so comforting. It gets so much flavor from the Italian sausage, onions, carrots, celery and garlic. I could eat the whole pot myself! The beans are so creamy and buttery, they go perfectly with the herby flavors in the broth.
I use chicken broth for this recipe and top it off with some coconut milk at the end to make it even more creamy. The best part about this soup is that it comes together in under 30 minutes! Serve it with some toasted bread and a fresh side salad for a beautiful family meal.

Absolutely LOVE this recipe! Turned our perfect and the only small change I made was using dried Rosemary instead of fresh. I paired the soup with take & bake bread for a perfect meal. My husband raved about this soup, despite disliking all “Italian” soups. Ha!
Thanks for sharing!
Woo hoo! I’m so glad that you guys loved it, thank you for sharing!
Do you rinse the beans after you drain them?
I don’t, but you can do it if you prefer that!
Is the coconut milk sweetened or unsweetened? I am in the middle of making the soup and have unsweetened.
Has anyone tried to make vegan version?
This was amazing! We added 1 jalapeno pepper with seeds and doubled the both, everything else the same. I would add a little more beans, although my husband loved it as is.
