Cannellini And Italian Sausage Stew

---

This is just pure delicious! What comes to mind is a big bowl of this and a loaf of crusty italian bread! no more, no less! i like to make this for monday night football,(when i make it in the late fall and winter), and invite 2 or 3 couples. Some bring bread, some bring dessert, but we all get full! This doubles and triples easily, and you can add your own touches to it.
