Savory Spinach and White Bean Soup Recipe - A Delicious Twist!

Ingredients

• 3 cups delicate baby spinach leaves
• ½ cup finely chopped vibrant orange carrots
• 3 tablespoons of smooth olive oil
• 1 small shallot, finely diced
• 3 cloves of garlic, finely minced
• 2 cups of rich chicken stock
• 1 can of tender white beans, drained (15 ounces)
• 1 teaspoon of fragrant dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon of aromatic dried thyme
• ½ teaspoon of sea salt
• ¼ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons of zesty lemon juice

Step 1

Mix together the delicate baby spinach with the vibrant carrot in a food processor, giving them a whirl until finely chopped to your liking.

Step 2

In a generously sized pot, warm up some oil over a medium flame. Sauté the aromatic shallot and garlic until they release their enticing fragrance, for around 2 to 3 minutes. Blend in the chopped spinach and carrot combo, along with the flavorful chicken stock, creamy white beans, fragrant oregano and thyme, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Let this concoction come to a lively boil, stirring every now and then. Lower the heat and let it gently simmer to allow all the delicious flavors to meld together, which usually takes about 20 minutes.

Step 3

Once the soup has simmered to perfection, take it off the heat and squeeze in some zesty lemon juice for a refreshing kick. With an immersion blender, work your magic and puree the mixture until it transforms into a velvety smooth delight ready to be enjoyed.
