CREAMY BEAN, HERB, & SPINACH SOUP



Creamy Bean, Herb, & Spinach Soup image

A little bit of change to a recipe from Bon Appetit. I also liked it made into a little more of a chili - style w/a can of diced tomatoes & chiles. Regardless, I think I'll try it with a bit of meat added in next time, too. Maybe ham if I leave it a true bean soup, or chicken/turkey for a chili-style soup.
