This “pasta fazool” is more a stew than a soup, so you can enjoy it as a main course all on its own. It's both filling and satisfying, and you and your family will fall in love with it. To complete the meal, serve with seasonal greens on the side dressed simply with a touch of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice. All of the ingredients, including the turkey sausage, veggies, cannellini beans, and pasta, are cooked in just one big pot for added convenience and suepr-easy cleanup. If the soup is too thick when it’s finished cooking, you can stir in a bit more water or stock to thin it out before serving.
