A simple and hearty soup. Use a good brand of polish sausage or kielbasa for this. A lot of flavor comes from the sausage itself.
In a 6-quart Dutch oven sauté sliced sausage in a small amount of vegetable oil until the sausage rounds are crisp and slightly rendered. Remove sausage from pot leaving behind rendered sausage fat.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the pot. Add chopped onion, celery, and carrot. Sauté until onions are slightly transparent and vegetables are slightly softened.
Mash half of the white beans using a potato masher until a smooth consistency is obtained. Add to pot.
Add remaining beans, potatoes, and cooked sausage to the pot and cover with water by 1 inch.
Bring to a medium boil and boil for 45 minutes.
