3 tbsp. Branch & Vine Garlic Olive Oil

Directions
Sort and wash beans. Place in a large Dutch oven with water to cover two inches above beans; cover and let soak eight hours. Drain, discarding water. Remove casings from chorizo and slice diagonally. Sauté chorizo and ham in olive oil for five minutes or until meat begins to brown. Add onion and sauté 10 minutes. Stir in flour. Gradually add water, whisking constantly until sauce is smooth. Stir in beans, ham concentrate, and next 6 ingredients. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer for 2 1/2 hours or until beans are tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in spinach and remove from heat. Spoon soup into individual bowls.
