Ingredients

Scale

1 tbsp Olive oil
1 large Yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves Garlic, minced
4 cups Halal chicken or beef broth
2 15-oz cans Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
1 14.5-oz can Diced tomatoes, undrained
1 tsp Dried oregano
1 tsp Dried basil
0.5 tsp Salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
5 oz Fresh spinach, roughly chopped
0.5 cup Crème fraîche or plain yogurt
Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  2. Transfer the sautéed onion and garlic to the slow cooker
  3. Add the halal chicken or beef broth, rinsed beans, diced tomatoes (with liquid), dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper to the slow cooker
  4. Stir gently, cover, and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours
  5. During the last 15-20 minutes of cooking, stir in the fresh spinach and allow it to wilt into the hot soup
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and optionally swirl in a dollop of crème fraîche or plain yogurt. Serve with a fresh lemon wedge

Notes

To create a thicker, creamier broth, mash about a quarter of the beans against the side of the slow cooker before serving.

You can substitute kale for spinach; just add it 30 minutes before serving.

For extra protein, add 1 lb of halal ground beef or shredded halal chicken during the last hour of cooking.

To make it vegetarian, substitute the meat broth with vegetable broth.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 4-5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
