Spinach and Bean Soup image

I just found this recipe in my already expanding collection. It's from another web site, that much I remember, just don't recall which one. I made it for the first time last night and it was delicious. For the herbs I used only fresh basil, mainly because that's the only fresh herb I had handy. I'm sure dried would work just as well.
