Cannellini Florentine

Submitted by Denise in NH

"Found this recipe in a coupon insert in the newspaper. It is from the kitchen of Bush's Best Beans. I have not made this recipe yet, but when I do, I think I will use a 10 oz. box of frozen chopped spinach that I will thaw and squeeze dry because I am not a big fan of canned spinach. With the chill of Autumn and Winter coming, this soup sounds like it will be really tasty. Would probably be nice served with corn bread."

I made this with 5 ounces fresh spinach in place of the canned spinach. Add it after the onions and garlic are done. I also used sun dried tomatoes with italian herbs. The bushes beans website says to add the parmesan after cooking and also listed french fried onions as a topping. I didn't use the french fried onion.
