Spinach Leek and White Bean Soup

July 8, 2015 by Dayna

Spinach Leek and White Bean Soup

I am a year round soup loving girl. I don’t care if it is scorching hot or bitter cold, I love soup! I know not everyone feels that way, so I am sharing this soup that packs on the nutrients but is a light and flavorful soup. It is an easy weeknight soup that is perfect all year round, but acceptable for the summertime as well.


I will be the first to admit that this soup does not photograph very good. Nonetheless, I can assure you that it full of flavorful goodness. Top it with some grated Parmesan cheese and a side of crusty bread, and you can call it a meal!
