Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large pot, over medium-high heat, add the sliced Italian sausage and bacon. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned and the bacon becomes crispy.
- Once the meats are crispy, carefully remove them from the pot, leaving about two tablespoons of fat. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened and slightly browned.
- Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring constantly until fragrant.
- Stir in the drained cannellini beans, then pour in the chicken broth along with the Italian seasoning and dried rosemary.
- Return the reserved sausage and bacon back to the pot, along with the chopped carrots. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- In the final step, stir in the fresh baby spinach until it wilts, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference.
