Classic Pot Roast
White Bean and Sausage Soup
By :Urvashi Pitre |

You want a small bean like navy beans for this so that the beans cook down into the soup to thicken it. I used chicken sausage to keep the fat down a little, but if your diet can take a little fat now and then, feel free to use regular Italian sausage.
