Servings4
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 large carrot, peeled and diced
¾ cup green beans trimmed and cut into bite size pieces
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp black pepper (plus more to taste)
1 tsp fresh thyme leaves (more to taste)
2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
4 cups water or vegetable broth
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 - 15 ounce can diced tomatoes
1 - 15 ounce can cannellini beans
1 - 15 ounce can kidney beans
8 ounces gluten-free pasta
2 cups spinach, roughly chopped
Grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley for garnish

pasta

🥗Healthier: whole grain pasta

💰Cheaper: rice

Whole grain pasta is more nutritious, while rice is often cheaper.

1

Start by heating a large Dutch oven or a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-low heat. Once hot, add the olive oil, onion, and garlic. Sauté them until they become fragrant and the onion turns translucent.

2

Next, cook the diced carrot and green beans for about 2 minutes. Add smoked paprika, sea salt, black pepper, thyme, oregano, and basil. Give it a few good stirs. Then, pour in the vegetable broth, letting everything simmer together for a minute.

3

Add the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, cannellini beans, and kidney beans. Stir well, cover the pot, and let it simmer over medium heat. You're looking for the carrots to become tender, which should take about 10 minutes.

4

Add the gluten-free pasta and cook it for 8 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking.

5

Finally, fold in the spinach and cook for an additional 2 minutes. The soup should now be rich, hearty, and ready to serve. Dish it up with a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese and a garnish of freshly chopped parsley.
