Cool morning temps always put me in the mood for soups and stews. I love to create a filling, healthy, low-calorie soup or stew to fill my craving for cool weather food. I love this Sausage Stew since it is so filling but healthy at the same time. Red pepper flakes and white wine added make this a spicy flavorful stew!

4 Italian chicken sausages

2 tablespoon olive oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 large shallot, chopped

1 can(14.5 oz) Del Monte diced tomatoes, no salt added

1 can(15.5 oz) Goya Cannellini beans, premium

1/2 cup dry white wine

1/2 cup low fat, low sodium chicken broth

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a grill pan and cook sausage on stove medium heat for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally. Set aside to cool.

In a dutch oven place oil, garlic, and shallots sauteing until tender about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, beans, wine, chicken broth, salt, and pepper flakes. Continue to saute on medium heat for about 5 minutes. Put tomato mixture in a baking pan and bake cover for 20 minutes.

Remove from oven, add sausage. Spoon stew into soup bowls, pass the Parmesan cheese.

So good and easy. Serve with a nice green leafy salad and fresh crusty bread. Oh, don’t forget a nice dry white wine!

Enjoy!
