1

Soak dried beans in water for 8 hours to overnight. Drain, rinse, and set aside.
2

Heat olive oil in a large stockpot over low heat. Cook and stir onion in the hot oil until it just starts to soften, about 4 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Increase the heat to medium. Add lamb and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the carrots and celery and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes, then season with parsley, thyme, oregano, pepper, and salt. Add the beans and broth. Bring to a boil, cook for 5 minutes, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until the beans are tender, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
3

Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the spinach in the hot pan until wilted. This will take only a short time, and you will not need to add more liquid to the pan.
4

Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with the wilted spinach and feta cheese.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
