Great flavor in this Tuscan Soup. I used Hot Italian Sausage for the hot sausage, fresh white beans, fresh basil and 1/2 and 1/2. Be sure to drain the fat from the sausage before proceeding. Even though I made half a recipe we still have lots left. Served with Tuscan Bread Salad (Panzanella).

27* with a few changes. Turkey Italian sausage, sweet potatoes and milk rather than cream. This is a keeper.

This made a lovely and delicious soup. The only change was I used 3 cloves of garlic. We loved the flavor of the sweet Italian sausage. This made a nice, hearty, easy mid-week meal. I served it with Italian bread and a glass of merlot. Thanks Lorac :D

This was really good soup! I did make some changes to it, to suit our taste, though: I used a can of navy beans instead of the cannellini beans, and added a can of Italian style diced tomatoes (juice and all). I also used baby red potatoes instead of russet, threw in 1/2 tsp. of red pepper flakes for some heat, and diced up a small zucchini. I also used a thawed package of frozen chopped spinach instead of fresh (if you do this, be sure to squeeze it out... there's a lot of extra liquid in the frozen stuff). All in all, it had wonderful flavor and my husband was also a big fan. Thanks so much for the recipe!
