Number of Servings: 5

Ingredients

    2 Tbs Light Butter
    2 cup chopped onion
    2 Tbs Roasted Minced Garlic
    1 Tbs Sage
    1 Tbs Tarragon
    6 cup Cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
    4 cup Fat Free, less sodium Chicken Broth
    2 cup Water
    4 oz fresh baby spinach, chopped

Tips

Very nice with a crusty bread or cheesy panini.


Directions

- Melt butter in a large electric skillet. Saute onion, garlic, sage and tarragon for 5 minutes or until onion is translucent.
- Add all remaining ingredients except spinach. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to 350 and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the center plug from the top of your blender (so steam can escape). Press a dish cloth or paper towel down over the top to cover the hole.
- Fill the blender just under half full with bean mixture. Pulse for four seconds. Empty the blender into a large mixing bowl.
- Repeat this process until all the bean mixture has been blended.
- Add the spinach to the skillet you used for the beans. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon water. Cover the skillet and heat at 350 until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Pour the bean mixture back into the skillet over the spinach. Bring to desired temperature. Stir and serve.
