Spinach, Carrot and Bean soup

My first recipe post, yay! Anyone who's going to be reading anything I contribute to this blog should know that my "style" of cooking usually consists of seeing what I have in the fridge and pantry and making something work out of whatever it happens to be. I also can't read so I never use recipes, keep that in mind at all times.

Spinach, carrot and bean soup
Ingredients
-1 box of chicken stock (use stock, not broth, and I suggest the box because you can surely pronounce all the ingredients, provided you can read)
-equal amount of water
-1 box of frozen chopped spinach (yeah fresh would have been better, I already said that I cook w/ what I have)
-1 tbsp rosemary
-1 tbsp thyme
-1 tbsp fresh ground black pepper
-1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
-carrots (I used about half a bag of baby carrots)
-1 can of black eyed peas (a bag would probably work better, but planning isn't my strong suit, you can find beans that are actually just beans in a can w/ no additives it just takes some looking)
-1 large onion (because onions make everything better)



Directions:
Get your big stock pot, add all of the chicken stock and the equal amount of water to the pot. Heat at medium heat.
Add the frozen block of spinach (no need to thaw it) and all of the spices (you'll note that I didn't add any salt, that's just personal preference, if you want to add salt add it now as well) and the garlic.
While the spinach is thawing in the soup base, chop the carrots (baby ones like I used just chop them in half, bigger ones cut them into about 1/2 inch thick slices) and the onion (cut in half, then into about half inch thick slices).
Open the beans and rinse them well (get all the starchy badness off ofthem).
After the spinach is thawed, add the beans and the carrots. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or so then add in the onion. Cover again and give it another 15 minutes to a half an hour (poke the carrots with a fork, are they tender? Then it's ready).
Serve with cornbread (or homemade bread if you're a better baker than I am)
