Ingredients
  

Soup Base
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
  • 1 15-ounce can cannellini beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes undrained
  • 1 cup carrots chopped
  • 1 cup celery chopped
  • 1 large zucchini chopped
  • 4 cups fresh spinach roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • salt and black pepper to taste
Optional Garnishes
  • sour cream or Greek yogurt for “spiderwebs”
  • black olives for “eyeballs”
  • croutons
  • fresh herbs

Equipment

  • Large Stockpot or Dutch Oven

Method
 

  1. Sauté the Aromatics: Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large stockpot. Add chopped onion and cook 5-7 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook 1 more minute until fragrant, avoiding burning.
  2. Build the Flavor Base: Pour in vegetable broth, add rinsed cannellini beans, undrained diced tomatoes, chopped carrots, and celery. Stir to combine.
  3. Season and Simmer: Stir in dried oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Bring to boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 15-20 minutes until carrots and celery are tender.
  4. Add the Zucchini and Spinach: Add chopped zucchini and simmer 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp. Stir in fresh spinach handful by handful until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Finish with Freshness: Remove from heat, stir in fresh parsley. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Prepare Spooky Garnishes (Optional): Place halved black olives (cut side up) on dollops of sour cream or Greek yogurt for "eyeballs." Drizzle sour cream or yogurt in concentric circles and drag a toothpick outward to form "spiderwebs."
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Ladle soup into bowls, add garnishes, serve immediately. Leftovers store well.

Notes

Get creative with garnishes — try mozzarella balls or deviled eggs as “eyeballs.” Add a splash of coconut milk or cream for richness. Enhance with fresh herbs like dill or chives.
