Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, with juice
2 cans (15 ounces each) cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
3 cups fresh baby spinach
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Stir in garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add chicken broth and diced tomatoes with juice. Bring to a simmer.
4. Stir in cannellini beans, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Simmer for 10–15 minutes.
5. Reduce heat and stir in heavy cream. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
6. Add parmesan cheese and stir until melted. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
7. Serve hot with extra cheese and cracked pepper on top.
Notes
For extra creaminess, blend 1 cup of the soup using an immersion blender before adding cream.
You can add cooked Italian sausage or shredded chicken for a heartier version.
The soup thickens as it sits—just add a splash of broth when reheating.
