Sausage, white bean and greens soup

Whole sausages in soup are in chunks that are too big, so I squeezed the meat out of the casings. There was creamy sausage in every spoonful!

1/2 pound sweet Italian sausage removed from casing
1 can cannellini beans
Garlic, minced
red pepper flakes
1/2 package Arugula
Olive oil
1 onion chopped
1 quart chicken broth

Heat oil in pot and saute sausage meat, red pepper flakes and garlic, breaking up sausage into small pieces until it starts to brown around the edges and is no longer pink. Remove from pot, leaving all the fat in the pan and reserve sausage meat.
Add onions and more garlic to pot and saute until it starts to brown. Add chicken broth and bring to boil. Add beans and its juice and return pot to boil, simmer 10 minutes.
Return meat to pot and return to simmer. Add arugula and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes.

Serve with red pepper flakes an EVOO.

Serves 2 (or one hungry boy).

Instead of arugula you could use baby spinach, swiss chard, beet greens or frozen peas.
