👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1In a large pot or a Dutch Oven, heat up 2 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and cook until caramelized, about 10 minutes.
2. 2Add minced garlic and stir for about 30 seconds to release the aroma. Then add chopped carrots and cook for another minute.
3. 3Add seasoning (1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp dried oregano, and 1/2 tsp dried thyme), and stir in.
4. 4Add 28 oz drained and rinsed cannellini beans, pour in vegetable broth and water. Bring everything to boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20 minutes.
5. 5Add 2 cups spinach and cook for another few minutes until it wilts.
6. 6I like to serve this soup with some grated Parmesan cheese which adds more flavor and creaminess to the soup.
