Sausage, Vegetable, and Bean Soup

This Crock Pot Sausage, Vegetable, and Bean Soup is loaded with spicy nutritious goodness. 

This soup is pure comfort food and super easy to make. 

You begin with dried Great Northern beans, which you can boil to soften or just soak overnight. It's up to you. This recipe is super flexible. 

Other than prepping the beans, you don't have to do any more cooking of the ingredients other than adding them to the slow cooker. 

This soup, with all of the veggies, spinach, and summer squash, is totally amazing. 

Ingredients in this Soup:

Canned whole Italian-style tomatoes. When you add them to the slow cooker, be sure to chop them up with a spatula. 

Beef broth. I used a canned low sodium beef broth. 

Hot Italian sausage: This is what adds the spiciness to this recipe. Remove the casings and cut the sausages into 1 1/2 inch pieces. 

Onion, garlic, dried Italian seasoning, and frozen chopped spinach. 

Dry red wine. Use wine good enough to drink. 

Zucchini or other summer squash. You will need one large squash or two small.
