Ingredients

4 servings

2 tbsp / 30g butter (, unsalted)
1 onion (, finely chopped (brown, yellow, white))
2 g arlic cloves (, finely chopped)
1 carrot (, large, peeled and finely chopped)
1 1/2 tsp Italian herb mix OR other dried herbs ((oregano, thyme, parsley, basil, or mixed))
3/4 cup (170g) tomato paste (Note 1)
1/2 cup (125ml) dry white wine (, optional (can omit) )
4 cups (1 litre) stock/broth, chicken or veg (, low sodium)
3 x 420g/15oz cans cannellini or any white beans, drained & rinsed
1/2 cup (50g) parmesan (, grated)
1/2 tsp EACH salt and pepper
120 g /4oz baby spinach ((or 5 - 6 cups any other leafy greens OR 4 cups diced veg, Note 3))
3/4 cup (185ml) cream, heavy/thickened ((optional) OR more butter!)

Steps

Melt butter in a pot over medium high heat. Cook garlic, onion and carrot for 5 minutes until carrot is soft and sweet.
About 3 minutes in, add the Italian herbs and cook with the onion (makes the herb flavour "bloom").
Turn heat up to high, add tomato paste. Cook for 2 minutes to remove the “raw” flavour.
Add white wine, cook for 3 minutes until the harsh “winey” smell is gone and mostly evaporates so you’re just left with tomato paste again.
Add 1/2 cup of beans (to thicken soup), stock, parmesan, salt and pepper. Stir, low heat, cover and simmer 3 minutes, stirring every now and then.
Use a stick blender to puree until smooth (or transfer to blender).
Add remaining beans, simmer 3 minutes. Stir in spinach until wilted, then stir in cream if using. Add more salt and pepper if needed (note: canned beans are already salted).
Serve with crusty bread for dunking!
