This is something I can throw together with things from the fridge and pantry, almost any night of the week. I got the idea of adding the spinach from my Fresh Produce Guide. Hope you enjoy it.

How to Make A Really Yummy Black Bean Soup

Step-by-Step

Heat a large Dutch oven with 1-2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, celery, garlic, and pepper. Sauté until vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Add broth, spinach, tomatoes, chickpeas, and black beans. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat. Simmer for 10-15 minutes. Stir in fresh or dried thyme, or just top it with fresh thyme leaves.
You may also top each serving with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
