Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 6–8 minutes. Remove excess grease if needed.
Stir in onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, 5–6 minutes. Add garlic and Italian seasoning. Cook for 1 minute, stirring often.
Add diced tomatoes, beans, and broth. Stir, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Let cook uncovered for 20–25 minutes so the flavors meld and the broth thickens slightly. Stir occasionally.
Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, 2–3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Ladle into bowls, sprinkle with parsley and Parmesan cheese.
