Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup onion diced
  • 1 cup carrot diced
  • 1 cup celery diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup rice uncooked
  • 8 cups broth or stock chicken, or vegetable broth
  • 2 cups water
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • 19 ounces cannellini beans rinsed and drained
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach chopped, 4-5 ounces

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium-high heat.
  • Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 6 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Add the rice and stir, letting it absorb the flavors for about 2 minutes.
  • Pour in the broth, water, and oregano. Partially cover the pot and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 15 minutes.
  • Add the rinsed and drained cannellini beans. Continue simmering for another 5 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked.
  • Stir in the chopped spinach and adjust the seasoning to taste.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • If using brown rice, allow an extra 5-7 minutes of cooking time.
  • Homemade broth or stock adds a richer depth of flavor.
  • For a thicker consistency, mash some of the beans before adding them.
  • A squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese enhances the flavors before serving.
