Crock Pot White Bean & Kielbasa Soup

This soup is perfect for a cozy Fall evening at home and one of the most delicious homemade soups that I have made in a LONG time! ....The best part, it only takes 10 minutes to prepare! Enjoy!



Ingredients:
1 lb dried great northern beans
13-ounces (Turkey or Beef) Kielbasa sausage, halved lengthwise and cut 1/2 inch thick
4 14.5-ounce cans of low-sodium chicken broth
1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes
1 large onion, diced
3 celery stalks, sliced
3 carrots, cut into thin rounds
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning (or more!)
3 bay leaves (Optional, but they add GREAT flavor!)
6 cups baby spinach
Salt & Pepper, to taste
Fresh shaved parmesan cheese, to put on top
Country bread, for serving

Directions:
1. In a large Crock Pot (6-quart is ideal), combine beans, Kielbasa sausage, chicken broth, tomatoes, onion, celery, carrots, garlic,  S&P, Italian seasoning & bay leaves.
2.  Cover and cook until the beans are tender. (7-8 hours on low or 5.5-6 hours on high).
3. 5 minutes before serving, toss in the baby spinach!

Serves 6-8 people.

Top with fresh shaved parmesan cheese & serve with warm country bread. Your dinner guests will LOVE YOU, I promise!

Cheers!
