Bean Soup With Spinach


There's just nothing like a pot of bean soup!this recipe has rice in it, and what a texture! I love grating some fresh parmesan cheese over the top, it's just so creamy. I'm sure to enjoy this. This is great with a loaf of sourdough bread, or maybe even a pumpernickle or rye. Times are approximate.
