A hearty and flavorful stew featuring Italian sausage, beans, and aromatic vegetables, perfect for a comforting meal.
Heat a soup pot over medium heat and cook the sausage until browned and no longer pink.
Break the sausage into small pieces as it cooks for even browning.
Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside. Discard excess grease.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the sausage, leaving behind any rendered fat.
In a food processor, finely chop the onion, celery, carrot, rosemary, and garlic.
Pulse the food processor to achieve an even chop without over-processing.
Add the chopped vegetables to the pot and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Return the sausage to the pot and add the diced tomatoes, beans, bay leaf, and chicken broth.
Stir well to combine all ingredients and distribute flavors.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 45 minutes.
Cover the pot partially to retain moisture while allowing some evaporation.
Remove the bay leaf, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve hot.
Taste the stew before serving and add salt or pepper as desired.
