Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic with a big pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the onions soften a bit, for 5 minutes or so.
  2. Stir in the tomato paste, basil, oregano and thyme. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring often, until the tomato paste darkens in color.
  3. Add in the tomatoes, beans, stock and parmesan rind. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce it to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Cover for the last 10 minutes.
  4. Remove the lid and stir in the cream. Stir in the parmesan cheese and the spinach. Cook for 5 to 10 more minutes, stirring often, as the cheese melts and spinach wilts. Taste and season the soup additionally with salt and pepper as needed.
  5. Serve immediately, topping with extra parmesan and crushed red pepper.
