1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained.
1 32-ounce container vegetable or low-sodium chicken broth.
1 15-ounce can cannellini (or other white) beans.
1 15-ounce can kidney beans (optional)
1 9- or 16-ounce package frozen green beans.
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 5-ounce bag fresh spinach or one 10-ounce box. Frozen spinach, thawed.
½ cup (2 ounces) grated Parmesan.
Crusty whole grain bread
Directions:
In a large pot, over medium heat, bring the tomatoes and their liquid to a simmer. Cook for 2 minutes. Add the broth, white beans, and kidney beans (if using) and bring to a simmer. Add the green beans and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the salt, pepper, and spinach and stir until wilted. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with the parmesan. Serve with the bread.
Suggestions:
Saute some garlic in olive oil before adding the tomatoes. Experiment with different types of beans. Ex: chickpeas, black eye peas, butter beans....) you can use Swiss chard in place of the spinach. Add cooked, shredded turkey, chicken or whatever is available. Add frozen corn or broccoli along with the green beans.
Use your imagination and follow you taste buds!!!
