Heat the butter in a roasting pan over medium-high heat; add the butter, stirring, until it melts. Add the onion and the next 4 ingredients (via garlic); cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Mash 1/4 cup beans with a fork. Add the beans, broth, and Italian seasoning to the pan; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes or until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Add the chicken; cook for 2 minutes or until completely warmed through. Add the black pepper and spinach, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted (about 3 minutes). Pour approximately 2 cups of soup into each of the 6 bowls; sprinkle each serving with 5 teaspoons of cheese and 11/2 teaspoons of bacon.
