Method

In a large pot over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the sausage and sauté until brown, about 5 minutes. Add the onion, garlic, and rosemary and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the 6 cups (48 fl oz/1.5 l) broth, the beans, and tomatoes with their juices and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes t
