Method
 

Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Position your oven rack in the middle for even cooking.
  2. Slice the tomatoes in half, place them in a roasting pan, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper. Roast for 25 minutes until skins are wilting.
  3. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until lightly browned and tender.
  4. Add drained white beans to the pot with sautéed onions. Stir in chopped sun-dried tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Cook for 3 minutes.
  5. Once the tomatoes are roasted, stir them along with their juices into the pot. Add parsley, spinach, and Kalamata olives. Toss gently for 2-3 minutes.
  6. If too thick, gradually incorporate vegetable broth to reach desired consistency. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes and adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Garnish each bowl with fresh thyme before serving. Serve warm, optionally alongside pasta or crusty bread.
