Method
- Step 1: Warm the oil in a pot over medium heat. Cook the diced onion and carrots with the salt for 8 minutes, then add the garlic for 1 minute.
- Step 2: Add the broth and the drained beans. Simmer for 10 minutes, mashing a few beans against the side of the pot to thicken it.
- Step 3: Stir in the spinach until wilted, about 2 minutes. Finish with the juice of the lemon.
- Step 4: Serve with the parmesan grated over the top.
