I found this recipe in a book called, "Healthy Heart, Lifestyle Guide and Cookbook," on behalf of the Cleveland Clinic. I used my own beef broth from http://www.recipezaar.com/Shredded-Beef-for-French-Dips-Crock-Pot-155355 which probably made it less healthy, but my husband and I both liked it.

SERVES 8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, finely chopped
1 celery rib, finely chopped
1 small jalapeno, seeded and minced
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 (28 ounce) can low-sodium crushed tomatoes
4 cups beef broth
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
1 cup fozen corn, thawed (optional)
pepper, freshly ground
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
6 ounces fresh baby spinach
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Directions

1
Heat the oil in a saucepan. Add the onion, carrots, celery, jalapeno, and garlic. Saute for about 5 minutes.
2
Stir in the tomatoes, broth, cilantro, corn and pepper.
3
Simmer for 10 minutes.
4
Add the beans, spinach, and lemon juice. Cook just until the spinach wilts.
5
Serve immediately. Top with reduced-fat cheddar cheese.

Note: I like this without the corn.
