This soul-warming soup is the culinary equivalent of a cozy blanket. It’s chock full of goodness—think spiced chicken sausage, earthy cannellini beans, savory Parmesan, and tender carrot and tomato.

Cooking Steps
• Place 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small microwave-safe bowl; bring to room temperature. • Wash and dry all produce. • Halve, peel, and finely chop onion. Trim, peel, and dice carrots. Dice tomato.
• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat (use a large pot for 4 servings). Add sausage*; cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. • Transfer to a plate.
• To same pot over medium-high heat, add another drizzle of oil, onion, carrots, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, 3-4 minutes. • Stir in diced tomato, tomato paste, Tuscan Heat Spice, and half the garlic powder (you’ll use the rest in the next step). Cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Stir in beans and their liquid, stock concentrates, and 3½ cups water (6 cups for 4 servings). • Cover pot and bring to a boil, then uncover and stir in cooked sausage. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until soup is slightly thickened, 7-10 minutes.
• While soup simmers, heat broiler to high. • Stir remaining garlic powder into softened butter until combined; season with a pinch of salt and pepper. TIP: If butter isn’t yet softened, microwave for 10-15 seconds.
• Halve ciabatta, then cut on a diagonal to create triangles. Place cut sides up on a baking sheet and spread with garlic butter. (TIP: For easy cleanup, line baking sheet with aluminum foil first.) Sprinkle with half the Parmesan (save the rest for serving). • Broil until golden brown, 2-4 minutes. TIP: Watch carefully to avoid burning.
• Taste soup and season generously with salt and pepper. TIP: If soup is too thick, add a splash or two of water. • Divide soup between bowls and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan. Serve with cheesy garlic ciabatta toasts on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
This soup was delicious! It was easy to make, other than having to cut up some vegetables. It was spicy but not too spicy, in my opinion. The chicken sausage gave it such a wonderful taste. It was a healthy dish as well. I will definitely be making this again on my own.
Sooo good! Probably my favorite. Loved the Tuscan spice blend and the little bit of heat from it. The sausage in this was super tasty. Turned out a little brothy, but great with the ciabatta to soak it up!
How easy is it to make garlic butter and just jazz up an already delicious soup? I stretched it out a bit putting some leftover vegetables and meat in it too which only made it even better. I would say, I am pretty sensitive about spiciness and I did not think it was spicy at all (before I made my personal additions).
This soup was absolutely delicious. I used chicken stock instead of water but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. My husband loved it. We had leftovers for lunch the next day and loved it even more.
This was a good one. I had cut back on the spices because I'm getting older and cant take to much. Didnt cut back enough. Learned that the chicken sausage already had spices in it!! It's all an individual learning process.
The beans make the soup not only healthy but satisfying. Nice broth flavor.
Could definitely use more sausage and beans. It's very brothy but very good! I added a little cayenne pepper to mine and it was perfect flavor!
This is one good soup. Spicy and tasty. You could smell it cooking all over the house. Tasted even better.
This was our first soup we made by hello fresh and it definitely beat our expectations. Its flavors are delicious. We will definitely be making this again.
Outstanding! I threw in a handful of orzo to thicken the soup and refrigerated it overnight. The consistency was perfect and the flavors well combined.
