Hearty Stove-Top Bean and Greens Soup

Ingredients

- 2 (10.75 oz) cans of tomato soup
- 2 (15 oz) cans of white beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups kale, chopped
- 2 cups spinach, chopped
- 2 cups Swiss chard, chopped
- 4 cups water or low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Vegetables: Begin by washing and chopping the kale, spinach, and Swiss chard. Set these leafy greens aside.

2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

3. Mix in Herbs: Add the dried thyme and oregano to the pot, stirring for an additional minute to release the flavors.

4. Combine Soups and Beans: Pour in the canned tomato soup, white beans, and water or vegetable broth. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

5. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low, then add the chopped kale, spinach, and Swiss chard. Stir until the greens are well-incorporated and beginning to wilt.

6. Cook to Perfection: Let the soup simmer gently for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.

7. Season: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.

8. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot. This soup pairs beautifully with a slice of crusty bread.
