Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary (or 1 tsp dried rosemary)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 cup crushed tomatoes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach (optional)
  • Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Dice the onion, carrots, and celery, and mince the garlic.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  3. Stir in the bay leaf and rosemary. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil.
  4. Lower the heat to a simmer, then add the white beans and crushed tomatoes. Stir to combine and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes.
  5. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for another 2-3 minutes, just until wilted.
  6. Remove the bay leaf and rosemary sprigs. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and top with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Notes

For a thicker consistency, blend half the soup using an immersion blender or mash some of the beans with a wooden spoon before adding the spinach. Adjust salt and pepper gradually to taste.
