White Bean Soup

2 tbsp olive oil

1 small onion chopped

1 small potato chopped

1 carrot chopped

1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)

1 can cannellini beans (15 oz can, drain half liquid)

3 cups vegetable broth

1 cup water

2 cups baby spinach leaves

¾ cup orzo

Heat olive oil over medium heat, add chopped onion.  When onions begin to sweat add carrots and potatoes.  Cook until onions begin to brown stirring occasionally so veggies do not stick.  Add tomatoes, cannelini beans, 2 cups of vegetable broth, spinach and water, bring to a boil.  Reduce heat, add orzo and simmer for 20 mins.  If you prefer your soup more brothy add the remaining 1 cup of vegetable broth.  Serve with grated cheese.
