Categories     Soup/Stew     Bean

Yield 4 Bowls

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups cooked barley along with the broth in Step 2.
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 medium fennel bulb, cored and chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 15-ounce can cannellini or other white beans, rinsed
1 14-ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
6 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
3/4 cup quick-cooking barley
1 5-ounce package baby spinach (6 cups)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion, fennel, garlic, and basil; cook, stirring frequently, until tender and just beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. 2. Mash 1/2 cup of the beans. Stir the mashed and whole beans, tomatoes, broth and barley into the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the barley is tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in cheese and pepper.

This soup is a great way to warm up on a cold day. It's also a very filling and satisfying meal. I often serve it with a side of bread or salad.

I love that this soup is so versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your own taste. I like to add extra vegetables, such as carrots and celery. I also like to use a variety of beans, such as black beans and kidney beans.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover beans and barley. It's also a very affordable meal. I was able to make a big pot of soup for less than $10.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this soup. I'm not usually a fan of bean soups, but the combination of beans, barley, and vegetables was really delicious. I also liked that the soup was relatively easy to make.

This soup was a hit with my family! The flavors are well-balanced and the texture is perfect. I especially liked the addition of the barley, which gave the soup a nice chewiness. I will definitely be making this soup again.
