Growing up, I tended to shy away from spinach and always had the misconception that it wasn’t that great for you because of the salt content, which you do need to consume- but in more natural ways. Spinach is naturally higher in salt content, however, spinach is filled with various nutrients. Spinach is rich in many vitamins such as Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, and also contains high amounts of iron, folate, fiber and potassium. Additionally it contains a high antioxidant protection- ultimately helping your immune system out. Now that you’re excited to eat some spinach, let’s make this vegetable bean soup!

Tips:

You can top your soup with mozzarella cheese or nutritional yeast if you want to get a cheesy flavor! If you have not tried nutritional yeast before- I highly suggest it as it does provide a naturally cheesy flavor while providing abundant nutrients.
