Follow The Directions
01
Step
8 mins
In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and carrot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6-8 minutes.
02
Step
0 mins
Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
03
Step
3 mins
Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, to allow the tomato paste to caramelize slightly and deepen the flavor.
04
Step
20 mins
Add cannellini beans, vegetable broth, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
05
Step
2 mins
Stir in chopped spinach and cook until just wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
06
Step
0 mins
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more lemon juice, salt, or pepper to your preference.
07
Step
0 mins
Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese, a drizzle of olive oil, or fresh basil leaves, if desired. Enjoy with crusty bread for dipping.
For a creamier soup, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the spinach. Be careful not to over-blend, as you want to retain some texture.
If you don't have canned diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano, you can use plain diced tomatoes and add 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano.
This soup is even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to develop. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
