The longer you let the soup simmer the more flavorful the soup will be.

1. Cook sausage in dutch oven or stock pot, once cooked remove and reserve for later.

2. In the same dutch oven or stock pot cook celery, onion, garlic, spinach, parsley, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper over medium heat until the onions are translucent.

3. Cut sausage into smaller pieces, and add to pot along with the chicken broth, tomatoes, and cannellini beans. Bring to a boil and then simmer on low for 15 to 20 minutes or longer if you want the flavors to meld more.
