4 cup vegetable broth

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 chopped yellow onion, 2 chopped celery stalks, and 2 peeled and chopped carrots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Pour in 4 cups vegetable broth. Add 2 cans rinsed and drained great northern beans, 1 can undrained diced tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer.
Stir in 5 ounces fresh spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted. Season the soup with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately with 4 whole grain rolls.

Notes

This soup is highly customizable; feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or green beans. It makes excellent leftovers that can be reheated gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
