Hearty Bratwurst and Bean Soup

1. 1

   Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grate.

2. 2

   Grill the bratwursts until fully cooked, about 5 minutes per side. Let cool. Slice each bratwurst into 1/4-inch pieces.

3. 3

   Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir the onion, carrots, and celery in the hot oil until the onions are tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir the garlic into the onion mixture and cook until the garlic is fragrant, 1 minute.

4. 4

   Stir the chicken broth, tomatoes, sliced bratwurst, basil, parsley, thyme, and cayenne pepper into the onion mixture. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.

5. 5

   Mix the potatoes into the bratwurst mixture, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the potatoes are almost cooked through, 15 minutes.

6. 6

   Stir the beans and spinach into the pot; simmer until heated through and the potatoes are done, 5 to 10 minutes.
