Scale

Soup Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 large carrots, chopped
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped
  • 6 cups low sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper, plus more to taste
  • 3 (15-ounce) cans white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 5 ounces baby spinach

Toppings

  • Grated parmesan cheese (for serving, optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the Oil and Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until they become translucent, about 5 minutes. Then add minced garlic, chopped carrots, chopped celery, dried thyme, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld and soften the vegetables.
  2. Add Broth and Beans, Simmer: Pour in the low sodium vegetable broth and add the drained and rinsed white beans. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Let the soup cook gently for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine and the vegetables to become tender.
  3. Incorporate Spinach: Stir in the baby spinach leaves and continue to simmer the soup for about 2 more minutes until the spinach wilts and becomes tender.
  4. Final Seasoning and Serve: Remove the pot from heat and taste the soup. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if desired. Serve immediately, garnishing each bowl with grated parmesan cheese if you like.

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, blend a portion of the soup and then mix it back in.
  • Use low sodium broth to control salt content.
  • Parmesan cheese is optional; omit for a vegan version.
  • Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stovetop to preserve flavors and texture.
