Spinach and White Bean Soup

This recipe takes just 20 minutes from start to finish but tastes like it’s been simmering all day.  You can sub kale, escarole or your favorite “green” for the spinach in this tasty soup!

(Serves 6)
2 tbsp avocado or olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 pound spinach, washed and chopped
4 cups low-salt chicken broth or bone broth
1 (15 oz.) can white beans, drained & rinsed
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
(optional: crumbled goat cheese)
 
In a large pot over medium heat, heat 2 tbsp of the oil. Add the onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes.
 
Add garlic and saute for about 15-30 seconds before stirring in the chopped spinach. Saute until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the broth and beans and cover to simmer about 5 minutes, until the beans are heated.

Ladle into soup bowls and add optional 2 tbsp of crumbled goat cheese.
