Ingredients

• 1 package smoked sausage/keilbasa
• 1 can canellini beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 can navy beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 2 carrots, diced
• 1 can tomato paste
• 1 can diced tomato
• 1 cup beef stock
• 1/2 c. chopped spinach
• 2 tsp. butter
• 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
• salt/pepper

Directions

1. Heat a large pot on medium heat.
2. Put butter, garlic, cayenne and onion in pan and let it cook until onion is soft.
3. Add sausage and cook for about 3-5 minutes until sausage gets a little color.
4. Add tomato paste, celery, carrot and bell pepper to pot. Stir until paste breaks up and coats the veggies and meat and let it cook for about five minutes.
5. Add beans, beef stock and tomatoes with juice. Cook for about fifteen minutes. You want it to thicken up slightly and come together.
6. Add your spinach, salt and pepper to taste and cook till spinach wilts slightly. (about 3 minutes) Don’t overcook it because you don’t want the spinach to lose its color.
