Posted by

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 3 15 oz. cans cannellini beans
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 Tbsp Balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 pinch crushed red pepper
  • 1tsp kosher salt
  • 8 oz fresh spinach, washed and stemmed
  • freshly cracked pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Before you begin, pour one of the cans of cannellini beans (with its liquid) into a blender and purée until smooth. Drain the other two cans of beans.
  • Mince the garlic and add it to a soup pot with the olive oil. Sauté the garlic over medium for about one minute, or just until the garlic is very fragrant.
  • Add the puréed cannellini beans, the other two cans of drained beans, broth, vinegar, rosemary, thyme, crushed red pepper, salt, and freshly cracked pepper to taste. Stir to combine.
  • Place a lid on the pot, turn the heat up to medium-high, and bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium low, remove the lid, and allow it to simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. 
  • Ten minutes before serving, add the spinach, cover, and bring the soup back to a boil. Boil for five minutes, then remove the pot from the heat.
  • Smash the beans slightly to thicken the soup even more. Taste the soup and add salt if needed. Serve hot, with crusty bread for dipping!
