Cannellini Beans with Tomatoes and Spinach

Ah dinner!  It is just me tonight.  This is a simple simple meal for dinner with wonderful smooth flavor and absolutely great to have on a cold evening.  The broth is rich and creamy and great with a little italian bread toast.  I will reserve 1/2 of this for lunch tomorrow!
