On a late, busy evening, dinner can turn into something grabbed at random and still not feel satisfying. Keep a can of white beans, tomatoes, and some frozen spinach, and a warm bowl can be close even when you do not want a big cooking project.

Tomato white bean soup with spinach and whole-grain toast

These basics are enough

  • Half to one can of cooked white beans, rinsed and drained.
  • Canned tomatoes or a tomato soup base.
  • A handful of spinach or another quick-cooking green.
  • Optional whole-grain toast, black pepper, and a little olive oil.

How to make it in ten minutes

  1. Warm the tomatoes and beans until gently bubbling.
  2. Add spinach and cook just until softened.
  3. Taste, serve, and have it with toast.

Beans, vegetables, and whole grains can all be part of everyday meals; this is not a required formula. Swap ingredients for what suits your budget, kitchen, and taste. If canned foods or soup bases are high in sodium, consider a lower-sodium option or adjust with water and herbs.
