How to Make It
In a large pot, over medium heat, bring the tomatoes and their liquid to a simmer. Cook for 2 minutes. Add the broth, white beans, and kidney beans (if using) and bring to a simmer. Add the green beans and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. Add the salt, pepper, and spinach and stir until wilted. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Serve with the bread.

Megco33's Review
I LOVE this soup. I always keep the ingredients on hand, except for the spinach. It's low fat, high fiber, filling and delicious. Use the recipe as a jumping off point -- I often add fresh basil (or some of my summer pesto) and/or change up the beans, and/or add other fresh vegetables (zucchini is especially nice). I make a pot on Sunday and it lasts all week for lunches, light dinners or even afternoon snacks.
