Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, celery, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender but not browned, about 4 min. Stir in the rosemary, thyme, and bay leaves. Add enough water (about 6 cups) to cover the ingredients.
Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover pan with the lid ajar. Simmer until vegetables are very tender, about 30 min.
Stir in beans, spinach, lemon juice, maple syrup, and red pepper flakes. Add more water, if needed, to cover the ingredients. Season the soup with the salt, plus black pepper to taste.
Return soup to a simmer and cook, on medium-low heat, uncovered, until spinach is very tender and soup is slightly thickened, about 10 min. Discard bay leaves.
Ladle soup into bowls and serve hot with Parmesan.
