Sundried Tomato and White Bean Soup
Ingredients
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 small onions, chopped'
1 lb carrots, peeled and sliced
2 ribs of celery, halved and sliced
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
2 - 7 ounce jars sundried tomatoes with herbs, julienne cut
4 - 15.5 ounce cans, white beans, drained and rinsed
1 - 32 ounce box, vegetable broth
2 cups water
10-11 ounces baby spinach, washed
Method
In large soup pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions. Saute gently and after 5 minutes, add carrots, celery, garlic, salt and pepper and continue cooking for another 5-10 minutes until celery is a little soft. You don’t want to brown the vegetables but definitely make them sweat.
Add in the rest of the ingredients, except the spinach and simmer for 2-3 hours. Just before serving, stir in the spinach and check the seasonings. Let simmer for another five minutes.
