While this hearty soups simmers on the stove top, you can toss together a salad to serve on side. It's a quick and easy recipe to pull together for lunch or dinner on a chilly day, and leftovers are great to take to work or school the next day. The choice of sausage is up to you--sweet or spicy will both taste great in this dish. And feel free to add more lemon if you like. The acidity is a nice balance to the richness of the sausage and the beans. And if you prefer a stronger, slightly sharper grated cheese, swap pecorino Romano for the Parmesan.

Ingredients

olive oil

1 tsp

uncooked onion(s)

1 large, chopped

kosher salt

1 tsp

uncooked turkey sausage(s)

½ pound(s), Italian style, casings removed

garlic clove(s)

1 medium clove(s), minced

reduced-sodium chicken broth

4 cup(s)

uncooked butternut squash

1¼ pound(s), peeled, seeded, and cubed

fresh sage

1½ tsp, minced

⅛ tsp

canned cannellini beans

19 oz, (white kidney), rinsed and drained

fresh lemon juice

1 tsp

grated Parmesan cheese

2 Tbsp

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and ½ teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, until onion has softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add sausage to pan and cook, breaking it up with wooden spoon, until lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
