Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounce) can low-sodium canellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 large onion, diced (about 1 cup)
- 2 carrots, diced (about 1/2 cup)
- 2 stalks celery, diced, (about 1/2 cup)
- 1 small zucchini, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 32 ounces low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can no salt added diced tomatoes
- 2 cups chopped baby spinach leaves
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan, optional
Directions
In a small bowl mash half of the beans with a masher or the back of a spoon, and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, zucchini, garlic, thyme, sage, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, and cook stirring occasionally until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the broth and tomatoes with the juice and bring to a boil. Add the mashed and whole beans and the spinach leaves and cook until the spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes more.
Serve topped with Parmesan, if desired.

So easy and so tasty! When we entertain, I order a large vegetable platter (which is way overkill and hope no one nibbles. Then I get to use all the fresh veggies for this soup! YUM! This recipe is easy to follow and allows for variation without problem.

I LOOOOVE THIS SOUP. I make it all the time. I use it also as my first meal after a detox, yuuummy. I so look forward to it. I follow the recipe exactly and love it, but I also changed it up to give it my own kick. I have added whole wheat tortellini, topped with raw onion and olive oil, shredded cheese. Delish.

Love love love this soup!! Even my picky must have meat husband loved it! I had to omit the sage and used dried beans instead of canned, otherwise followed the recipe to the T!
