Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp Italian herbs dried
  • 1 can tomatoes diced
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese grated (save 1/4 cup on top when you serve)
  • 3 cans white cannellini beans drained
  • 4-6 cloves garlic minced
  • 6 cups baby spinach
  • 6-8 cups vegetable broth
  • a pinch of salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  • When the oil is hot, add the onion and saute for about 5 minutes. You’re looking for your onion to become translucent.
  • Add the garlic, tomatoes, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper and saute for 2 more minutes, or until the mix becomes fragrant– you’ll know when it happens, your kitchen will smell wonderful!
  • Pour in the vegetable stock and the white cannellini beans and bring the mix to a boil.
  • When your soup has reached boiling point, turn the heat down to a low level and simmer for another 2 minutes or so.
  • Then add the baby spinach and ¾ of the parmesan, and give your soup a good stir.
  • When the spinach has wilted, you’re ready to serve! Sprinkle the rest of your parmesan cheese over your soup and enjoy!

Notes

  1. To make this soup recipe vegan, all you need to do is leave the parmesan cheese out.
  2. You may have noticed a high amount of sodium on the nutrition label. The nutrition label pulls data from the USDA nutrition database which uses a store-bought version of the vegetable broth (which tend to be high in sodium) when it calculates nutrition amounts. I usually try to make my own vegetable broth, which will be much lower in sodium! I’d suggest making your own to lower the sodium in this recipe or finding a “low-sodium” broth in store to use.
