Directions: |
Directions:Drain all 4 cans of beans.
Heat two tablespoons olive oil over medium heat in a large saucepan or stock pot. Saute the onion, zucchini, green beans, and celery in the oil for 4 minutes.
Add the garlic; saute for 1 more minute; at this point, the onions should begin to turn translucent.
Add the stock to the pot, plus the drained beans, the undrained tomatoes, the carrot, the spices, and the hot water.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
Add the pasta, then the spinach; simmer for an additional 25 minutes. The spinach will cook down tremendously. |
