Crockpot Italian Sausage Soup
This Crockpot Italian sausage soup recipe is hearty, filling, and full of flavor. A wonderful and easy set it and forget it soup recipe.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 (17.6 ounce) package Italian sausages (see note) cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 large carrots peeled & sliced
- 1 (19 fluid ounce) can white beans drained
- 1 (28 fluid ounce) can diced tomatoes with juices
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 4 dashes Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup uncooked tubular pasta (I used macaroni)
- 2 large handfuls fresh baby spinach
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep your sausage, onion, and carrots. I find it easiest to take the sausages out of their casings and then break them into bite-size pieces. You can fry the sausage in a skillet and then drain the fat if you wish prior to adding it to the Crockpot, but this step is not necessary.
- Add all ingredients except the pasta, spinach, and salt & pepper to a slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
- About 30 minutes prior to serving, add the pasta and stir the soup every 10 minutes or so to prevent it from sticking on the bottom.
- When you're 5-10 minutes away from serving, stir in the spinach and season the soup with salt & pepper as needed. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Regarding the sausages, anything around the 17.6 ounce mark would work. I bought a pack of 5 mild Italian sausages for this recipe.
- This is the 7 quart Crockpot I used for this recipe.
