Heart healthy "pizza" soup

In an effort to celebrate heart health month and Valentine's Day, while juggling the necessity of a few vegetarian meals for lent (Fridays only, we're not overly strict here), I came up with this simple recipe that I dub "pizza soup". It's a combo platter of spinach, white beans, tomatoes and spices. What could be easier and more nutritious?This recipe is not only high in fiber (11 grams, thank you very much), it's also a great source of protein, vitamin C, potassium and cancer-fighting phytochemicals. You can use any canned white beans you have on hand (Navy, Great Northern, Cannellini), fresh or frozen spinach and canned tomatoes. I use low sodium chicken broth, but vegetable broth would work great, too. Top with shredded Parmesan or Asiago cheese and served with a rustic, crusty bread, you can't beat it!Ingredients1 can diced tomatoes (15 oz can, keep liquid)2 cans white beans (drained and rinsed)6 cups chicken or vegetable broth1 box chopped frozen spinach1/2 onion, chopped1 clove garlic, minced1 Tbsp. oregano1 Tbsp. basil1 tbsp. rosemaryDirectionsPlace tomatoes, onions and garlic in a large pot and simmer on low heat until vegetables are soft. Add broth, spinach, beans and spices and continue to simmer on low heat until soup thickens (~one hour). Serve with shredded Parmesan or Asiago cheese and your favorite crusty bread.Makes 8 servings.
