- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lb. hot Italian sausage, casings removed, torn into 1" pieces

- 2 (14-oz.) cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained

Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, heat oil. Add leek and carrot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and leeks start to turn golden, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Add sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and browned in spots, about 8 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring, until darkened, about 1 minute; season with salt and black pepper.
- Add beans, broth, cream, and Parmesan rind and stir to combine. Add oregano and red pepper flakes; season with salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 30 minutes.
- Discard Parmesan rind. Add spinach and grated Parmesan and stir until cheese is melted and spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings.
- Divide soup among bowls. Top with more grated Parmesan.
