  • 1 cup yellow onion chopped
  • 2 garlic coves minced
  • 1 14.5- ounce can O Organics® diced tomatoes with basil garlic and oregano
  • 1 15- ounce can O Organics® cannellini beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 32- ounce box O Organics® beef broth
  • 1 lb O Organics® ground beef 85-15, fully cooked
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 cups O Organics® baby spinach roughly chopped
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot over medium high heat. Add the chopped carrots and onion and cook until tender about 4-5 minutes.

  • Add canned beans, tomatoes and broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the carrots are tender - about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the ground beef in a non-stick skillet. Season the the ground beef with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. If desired, drain the fat.
  • Add the cooked ground beef to the soup and simmer for another few minutes. Add the fresh spinach and stir until the spinach wilts.

Notes

Pro Tips: Red kidney beans, great northern beans, or chick peas (garbanzo beans) could be used instead of the cannellini beans.
