Ingredients

1 can Cannellini Beans 15 ounces, low-sodium, drained and rinsed
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
½ Onion Large, diced, about 1 cup
2 Carrots Diced, about ½ cup
2 stalks Celery Diced, about ½ cup
1 Zucchini Small, diced, about 1½ cups
1 clove Garlic Minced

½ teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
32 ounces Broth Chicken or vegetable; low sodium

Instructions

In a small bowl mash half of the beans with a fork or spoon and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, zucchini, garlic, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the broth and tomatoes with the juice and bring to a boil. Add the mashed and whole beans and the spinach leaves and cook until the spinach is wilted, about 3 minutes more.
