  1. In a Dutch oven or large pot, over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. 
  2. Once heated, add onion, celery and garlic and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. 
  3. Add chicken sausage to pot and cook until seared about 2-3 minutes. 
  4. Add butternut squash to pot and cook for 3 minutes, stirring all ingredients occasionally. 
  5. Add wine and cook down until it has mostly evaporated. 
  6. Stir in chicken broth, cinnamon, oregano, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. 
  7. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes or until squash is tender and can be pierced easily with a fork. 
  8. Stir in beans and bring to boil again. 
  9. Remove from heat and enjoy! 
  10. Store leftovers in airtight container for up to 5-7 days. Freeze in freezer safe container for up to 2 months. I like to portion out and freeze in freezer ziplock bags.
