Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Main

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 (15 oz) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
  • 4-5 oz fresh spinach
  • Grated Parmesan cheese or a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, for serving (optional)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

  2. Step 2

    Add chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  4. Step 4

    Add crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, cannellini beans, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring the soup to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

  5. Step 5

    Stir in the fresh spinach and cook just until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasonings to taste.

  6. Step 6

    Ladle into bowls and serve hot, optionally topped with grated Parmesan cheese or a drizzle of olive oil.

Tips

  • To make this soup heartier, add some small pasta (like ditalini or elbow macaroni) during the simmering stage.
  • For a creamier texture, blend about 1 cup of the soup before adding spinach, then return to the pot.
  • Serve with crusty bread for dipping!
