Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 large yellow onion (diced into 1/2" pieces)
  • 4 large garlic cloves (minced)
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • Crushed sea salt or kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried crushed rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked white cannellini or great northern beans (or 1 can of beans)
  • 10 ounces fresh spinach (washed and stems removed, but save the the stems for smoothies)
  • Pecorino Romano cheese (finely grated for topping)

Instruction

  • In a medium size stock pot, over medium heat, brown the beef for about five minutes. Season with salt and pepper as it cooks. Drain excess grease and return to the stove. Add the onions and the garlic and continue cooking until the onions are soft.
  • Add the chicken stock, beans, thyme and rosemary. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes. While this is simmering, roughly tear or chop the spinach into 1-2" pieces. Add the spinach to the pot and simmer for a minute or two, until the spinach is wilted. Adjust seasonings to taste. Enjoy!
