Add onion, celery, carrots, garlic, crushed red pepper, salt & pepper. Cook on med heat until onion is clear, stirring often, about 10 mins. Add tomatoes, bouillion, and basil, bring to soft boil, cover, simmer about 10 mins. Add green beans, bring to boil, cover, simmer 10 mins. Add cannellini beans, bring to soft boil, cover, simmer 10 mins. Add spinach, bring to soft boil, simmer 5 minutes. Serve topped with parmesean cheese & hot crusty whole-wheat bread. ENJOY! OK, I NEVER use the cheese since I'm not a big cheese eater but I presented it as an option anyway. I've made this soup 4 times since a friend made it for me in November...I can't get enough!
