Ingredients for servings
Soup
-
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
-
3 small leek bulbs outer layers removed, chopped
-
1 medium onion chopped
-
1 teaspoon salt divided
-
0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
-
28 ounce low-sodium diced tomatoes certified gluten-free if necessary
-
15 ounce cannellini beans rinsed and drained (certified gluten-free if necessary)
-
10 ounces fresh baby spinach
-
1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth certified gluten-free if necessary
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a Dutch oven or large oven-safe pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the leek, onion, 0.5 teaspoon of the salt and the red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the tomatoes (plus juices), beans, spinach and broth. Bring the mixture to a boil. Cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and transfer to the oven. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the spinach has wilted, 25 to 30 minutes.
I took mine out of the oven after 25 minutes and gave it a good stir, and then placed it back in the oven for 5 more minutes.
Stir in the other 0.5 teaspoon of salt and enjoy!
