The first time I made this colorful soup, our home smelled wonderful. We knew it was a keeper to see us through cold winter days. —Sarah Stombaugh, Chicago, Illinois

Test Kitchen tips

Cannellini beans are a fine substitute for great northern beans, so use what you have on hand.

Turkey Italian sausage is a great alternative in this recipe, too.
