The white bean, fennel, and italian sausage soup is colorful and hearty, and the parmesan toast adds a little crunch. You can use any kind of white beans, but our test kitchen professionals recommend cannellinis. The recipe also calls for mild italian sausage, but you can substitute hot italian sausage for a spicier soup.

Everyone will be asking for seconds, so hopefully youve made enough.
