Sometimes things just have to be simple.

When life gets really busy, sometimes you need a simple and nutritious meal that is hearty, tasty and most of all uses ingredients you already have in the pantry. That’s where this 20 Minute Bean, Tomato and Spinach Soup comes in.

It’s 7:00 p.m., I need dinner fast. We’ve all been there. You desperately go to the pantry and look inside thinking… “What can I make with this stuff”? Beans, check. Canned tomatoes, check. Broth, check. What do you know, you can have homemade soup on the table in 20 minutes!!!

Bean Tomato and Spinach Soup_3sq Pantry Here’s what I saw when I looked in my pantry. Sorry for the French, I forgot to turn the cans around… Canada you know…

Rinsing Beans I started with that can of mixed beans, which I love. It’s a great combination of red kidney, chick pea and white kidney beans. Make sure you drain, then give them a good rinse to get rid of some of the sodium.
