SWAPS
We love this soup made with pork sausage but you could easily use ground beef or ground turkey.
🍽️HOW TO MAKE
Like most soups, the most time-consuming part is combining all the ingredients. The prep for this one involves cooking the sausage.
COOKING STEPS
Step 1
Brown sausage and onion with basil and garlic in a skillet. Drain and pour into crock pot. Add all other ingredients except the pasta.
Step 2
Cook on low for seven to eight hours or high for 4 or 5 hours. About an hour before soup finishes cooking, add pasta.
Step 3
This could be made on top of the stove as well. Just cook in large pot until beans are tender. Then add pasta or shells about the last 20 minutes.
⭐TIP
This delicious soup is really good the next day so you can easily make it a day in advance. If you wanted to add a little heat to this dish, you could easily switch out the tomatoes for Rotels.

Made this soup for the first time this weekend and it was delicious, rich and hearty! A keeper for sure. (Didn’t have pasta on hand so used a little potato and it was a fine substitute. Will try pasta next round.)
I’d like to try this, but I’m a bit turned off by the Cream of Celery soup???? Could I substitute a different Creamed soup?
Yes, I’m sure you can use another cream soup.
One question was if you could use can beans. Could you please give instructions for using can beans (ie: how many cans, drain or not and when to add).
Love all your recipes im 72 and grew up eating a lot of them.
The amount of beans isnt really going to change the recipe. You can use a a 15 ounce can of beans or just use a cup. If you like beans add the whole can. You can also add the beans to the crock pot when you cook everything else, they wont over cook in the crock pot for that amount of time.
I made this tonight in my slow cooker and it was so good, my husband loved it and asked me to make it again. Thank you for a delicious recipe.
This was very good. I think next time I make it , I will.not use pasta but will add a bit of cabbage. Still gets s thumbs up.
I got rave reviews with this so simple to make soup. I served it with homemade cornbread.
Very good. I like spicy so I used hot sausage! It was even a little too hot for me. So easy in the crockpot. Just added a French baguette and side salad.
Can you use canned white beans?
Sure you could do that Cindy.
This soup is DELICIOUS!
It was super easy to make from things already on hand.
I soaked the dried beans before hand and left out the pasta.
So glad you enjoyed this soup! We love this one too 🙂
Can’t wait to make this. Snow is forecast for tomorrow and Wednesday. If using the 1/2 cup shredded cabbage when would you add this?
I would just add it when I added the other ingredients, Marie.
Can you use an instapot instead of a crockpot?
I have not tried this in an instapot, so I really can’t advise you but I think it would work, Jenifer.
Can these recipes be shard? I only see the print option. Thank you.

This is a great recipe! “Very tasty” hubby said. I made your quick peppery cheese bread to go with it.
So happy you all enjoyed this recipe and thank you for letting me know, Fern. We love this soup and the cheese bread, too! Have a great evening.
About half of a 16 ounce can.
Can I use ground beef instead of sausage?
Yes, you could do that Lois.
Have you tried to freeze this soup? I like to make a large amount and freeze in quart freezer bags for another time.
I have not tried freezing it Cheri but I think it would freeze o.k.
It says in the recipe to brown the sausage and drain, Lisa.
Made this for supper tonight,husband came in said,What are you cooking smell good.Thanks for sharing the recipie,will be in on my regulars,Thank so much Carol Bowles,We love pepper too!
Looks and sounds delicious. It’s in my crock pot right now for supper.
When I made this a couple of nights ago with Sweet Italian sausage instead of breakfast sausage, it was fantastic!
Yes, look at the bottom of the recipe and you will see Print/pdf. Click on that and you can remove the photo and any text you don’t want and print just the recipe.
Do you presoak the beans? It sure sounds yummy
I don’t but you can if you want to.
soup’s on!! I bought bread bowls to serve it in. we’re having fried fish my husband caught for tonite. Tomorrow we’ll heat up the soup.
lots of raves about how good this dish looks, but it has to taste good, to be ANY good… and it does! I just made it and it tastes delicious! I added a couple drops of hot sauce to it.
Looks so good – I pinned it! Almost all of my Pinterest recipes are from you. Thanks!
This looks great! I’m going to try it today in my newly bought crock pot. I bought hot Italian sausage instead of breakfast sausage. Hope it works!
Barbara, I bet you love the soup and the crock pot. I have 5. lol.
Yum! I can almost smell the soup. It looks delicious and enticing. Its making me hungry just by looking at it.
This WILL be my next soup..it looks so good.
Can this be made with vegetable broth in place of chicken broth?
Yes Kay, I am sure it can.
This recipe looked so good that I went grocery shopping and put it in the slow cooker 🙂 I do have a question/concern though: adding one tablespoon of black pepper seemed like quite a bit to me, so I only added 1/2 t…. do you use the whole tablespoon of black pepper?
I like a lot of pepper. lol. You can cut down if you like. Hope you enjoy this.
Thanks for getting back to me! I ended up using 1 t. of the black pepper and it was still too hot for me, so I added more beans and pasta… overall, it is one delicious soup! I also shared the recipe with my mom in another province and she made it straight away and both parents loved it too 🙂
Really great looking soup, I am with Balisha, you can almost taste it. There is just something about soup that makes a person hungry. Thank you for coming by and have a nice weekend.
That soup looks so good…I can almost taste it.
I’m having oatmeal for breakfast this morning. I’d have it every morning if it weren’t for my better half. The new McDonald’s ads for their oatmeal with fruit on it really looks good.Stay warm… Balisha
