Ingredients

• 15 oz cannellini beans (drained and rinsed)
• 15 oz kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
• 6 cups vegetable broth
• 14.5 oz diced tomatoes (with juice)
• 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
• 2 medium carrots (chopped)
• 2 celery stalks (chopped)
• 3 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 bay leaf
• 4 cups baby spinach (fresh)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion, chopped carrots, and chopped celery stalks for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute. Remove from heat.

Step 2

In a large crock pot, add the cannellini beans, kidney beans, vegetable broth, diced tomatoes (with juice), sautéed vegetables, ground cumin, dried thyme, paprika, and the bay leaf.

Step 3

Stir to combine all ingredients evenly. Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.

Step 4

About 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time, remove the bay leaf and stir in the fresh baby spinach. Allow the spinach to wilt in the broth.

Step 5

Taste the soup and season with salt and black pepper as needed. If you prefer a brighter flavor, stir in the lemon juice before serving.

Step 6

Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm. Pair with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
