Instructions
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. When shimmering, add onion, garlic, and carrots; cook until the onion is softened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the broth, fresh or frozen green beans, tomatoes, sugar, Parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, salt and pepper.
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.
Ladle into bowls; top with freshly grated parmesan cheese, chopped fresh parsley, and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve warm and yummy!
