Simple Tomato, White Bean and Greens Soup

preparation

1. Place a deep pot over medium heat and add the Pompeian Gourmet Selection Extra Virgin Olive Oil and butter.
2. Once the butter has melted add the onion and a generous pinch of salt then sauté 4-5 minutes until the onions are translucent.
3. Add the garlic, thyme and rosemary to the pot and sauté for another minute until aromatic.
4. Add the can of tomatoes and the broth to the pot and increase the heat to medium-high. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally then reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes.
5. Allow to cool just slightly before blending. Transfer the soup to a blender and blend until smooth.
6. Transfer back to the pot over medium heat and add the lemon juice, white beans and spinach. Heat for just a minute or so, stirring, until the spinach wilts into the soup.
7. Serve immediately in individual bowls topped with a drizzle of Pompeian Gourmet Selection Extra Virgin Olive Oil and a sprinkling of salt, herbs and red pepper flakes.
