This is a quick South Beach Diet friendly soup. It is brothy, but the beans are very filling. I adapted a recipe from the cookbook to suit the ingredients that I had on hand. Ingredients:
1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth |
4 cups fresh baby spinach, chopped |
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained |
1 tablespoon minced roasted garlic |
1/2 cup low-sodium v8 juice |
salt, to taste |
fresh ground black pepper, to taste |
red pepper flakes, to taste |
Directions:
1. Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a medium pan.
2. Add the spinach and allow to boil for a bit and wilt down the leaves, stirring often.
3. Reduce heat and add the rinsed and drained beans, roasted garlic, and V-8 juice.
4. Simmer gently for 5-10 minutes.
5. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, to taste.
