White Bean, Cabbage, and Andouille Soup is a great soup to warm you up during the cold winter months.
You will love this soup if you are looking for a hearty soup with great flavor. The soup contains vegetables, beans, and a spicy andouille sausage.
Soup is one of my all-time favorite comfort foods. This soup is hearty and perfect when the weather is cooler and you need to keep filled up. The andouille sausage adds heat to the soup for more flavor.
Helpful Tips:
- Do not skip sauteeing the celery, onion, carrots, and potatoes. This will help bring out the flavor of the vegetables.
- Use low-sodium chicken broth for a healthier soup.
- Drain and rinse the beans before you add them to the soup. This will help reduce the sodium in the beans.
- Store the soup in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
- The soup can be reheated in the microwave until the desired temperature.
- The soup can be frozen in an airtight container.
Ingredients you will need:
- Onion – Yellow onions work well.
- Carrots
- Celery
- Olive Oil – use for sauteing the vegetables. Butter would work, also.
- Chicken Broth – Low-sodium should be used for a healthier soup.
- Andouille Sausage – Any smoked sausage will work if you don’t like spicy sausage.
- Great Northern Beans
- Cabbage
- Dice Tomatoes – I like low-sodium or no-salt diced tomatoes for this soup.
- Bay Leaf
- Celery Salt
- Salt and Pepper
I love adding beans to soups. Here are some of the health benefits of eating beans:
- Beans are a great source of protein.
- Beans are rich in an antioxidant called polyphenols.
- The healthy starches and fiber in beans can help with food cravings.
What type of beans should you use when making this soup?
- Northern white beans
- Cannellini beans
- Navy beans
- Any of these will work fine in this soup. Black beans would also work if you don’t want to use a white bean.

Well, a good soup recipe sure comes in handy over here and this one looks so good. We don’t get andouille sausage, but we have plenty of Swedish sausages I can use. But, what you have in the image I can’t get here is those saltine crackers. Nope, none at all. I mean how can you really enjoy a bowl of soup without saltines. My solution is crusty sourdough bread, but you can’t crush the bread and put it on top you of your soup. Thanks for a great soup recipe.

It’s definitely soup season! We just made a bean and endive soup over the weekend using turkey stock from the Thanksgiving turkey. So good! I’m putting this soup on the agenda next. I love andouille…it brings so much flavor!
