Brown the sausage. Heat the olive oil in a soup pot over medium-high. Add the sausage and cook 4–5 minutes, until browned.
Soften the onion. Add the diced onion and cook 3–4 minutes, until translucent.
Build the broth. Stir in the white beans and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook 15 minutes, mashing a few beans against the side of the pot to thicken it slightly.
Wilt the spinach. Stir in the spinach and cook 1–2 minutes, just until wilted. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
Serve. Ladle into bowls. A little Parmesan and a chunk of crusty bread make it dinner.
