1.5 cups finely chopped carrots
1 cup diced red bell pepper
3/4 cup diced onion
2-3 chicken sausages (fully cooked)
2 quarts low sodium chicken broth
1 cup small noodles (i use ditalini but any small shape is fine)
1 can no salt added white beans, drained and rinsed (i use great northern but cannellini would work)
2-3 Tbsp fresh parsley, finely minced
salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large dutch oven, heat butter or oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add garlic, carrots, peppers and onions and saute for 10 minutes.

  4. Add noodles and cook according to time on package directions.
  5. Stir in beans, parsley, salt and pepper, reduce heat to simmer for 5 minutes. Taste, adjust seasonings and serve.

Notes

If storing leftovers in the fridge, the pasta will absorb a lot of the broth. Add a splash of extra broth or water when reheating if needed .
