There are days when I love to simmer a stew or soup… all day long.

And then there are days when that is only a pipe dream.

It’s those days I pull out this healthy, hearty soup; packed with vegetables like onion, garlic, carrots, green beans, tomatoes, and spinach.

And I can’t believe it’s possible to deliver such a delicious soup… in 15 minutes– maybe less.

But it is!

A couple of notes on prep:

Prepping Ahead

When this soup is on the weekly dinner schedule, I will chop the onion, garlic, and carrots ahead. Green beans too if I’m using fresh. Most often on a Sunday afternoon. I will then refrigerate the chopped veggies in a sealed container until soup night.

Everything else is store-bought ready.

Tomatoes

This recipe calls for one can of diced tomatoes. I prefer fire-roasted tomatoes as it gives the soup a little kick. But use your favorite.

Green Beans

I love to use fresh green beans from the garden when available… but frozen works fine too.

  2. Bring the soup to a boil, reduce and simmer 5 to 7 minutes or until the vegetables are softened. Stir in the beans and spinach and continue to simmer until the spinach has wilted; 1 to 2 minutes more. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

  1. Pretty tasty! I made this on a cold winter night and it definitely kept me warm. I only used three cans of beans and added them with the broth, and I added celery just because I had it on hand. I give this four stars because it’s definitely not a 15 minute recipe; 6 cups of broth takes 10 minutes to heat up alone! I would call it a 30 minute soup, and still worth it. Overall, a solid recipe to keep on hand!

    1. Thanks, Kay for your rating and comment! I have a power burner that heats liquid really fast. It’s super helpful when I hear times. Thanks again!

  2. The smell of this soup was pure heaven! I only used two cans of beans, though, and Romano cheese. One thing – the beans were a bit chewy, so I’d add them sooner. All in all, an absolutely delicious diabetic and vegetarian friendly soup!

    1. Thanks for your comment, Marion! I feel the same way about that soup. It absolutely fills your house with wonderful smells! Healthy and easy — the best kind of soup.
