How to Make Tuscan White Bean Soup

You will love how quickly and easily this Tuscan white bean soup comes together. Chop up your veggies, cook them down, add everything to the pot! Let it simmer and soak in all the flavor. I like to make double batch so I have plenty for quick lunches during the week.

1. Cook Veggies: Heat the olive oil on the stovetop in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, and carrots to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
2. Stir: Add the garlic and tomato paste to the pot and stir until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Simmer: Add the cannellini beans, broth, vinegar, Italian seasoning, pepper flakes, and salt and black pepper to taste. Stir everything together, then bring the soup to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-8 minutes.
4. Serve: Add the spinach to the soup and stir to incorporate. Continue cooking the soup until the spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove the soup from the heat and serve fresh.
