Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 2 cans cans (15 oz each) of white beans (cannellini or great northern), rinsed and drained
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups vegetable or chicken broth Feel free to use homemade broth.
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or kale
  • 1 medium carrot, diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and carrot. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and dried thyme, allowing them to cook for an additional minute.
  3. Pour in the rinsed white beans and broth, stirring gently to combine. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Toss in the fresh spinach or kale, stirring until they wilt down—this should take just 2-3 minutes.
  5. Season your soup with salt and pepper to taste, give it a good stir, and serve.
