- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 cups spinach, chopped
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste

2. Add white beans, vegetable broth, and thyme. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.
3. Reduce heat and let simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Stir in chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.

Notes
Use cannellini or great northern beans for the creamiest texture.
For extra flavor, add a splash of lemon juice or a sprinkle of Parmesan before serving.
Make it heartier by adding small pasta, diced potatoes, or carrots.
This soup keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days and freezes beautifully for up to 2 months.
