Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil or coconut oil
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen mirepoix mix (diced carrot, celery, onion), thawed or fresh
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 3 medium cloves)
  • 2 cups packed chopped leafy greens (kale, collards, spinach, etc.)
  • 1 can (10.75 ounces) Campbell’s® Condensed Tomato Soup
  • 2 cups lentils (white, brown or green)
  • 1 can (14 ounces) unsweetened coconut milk or cream
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  • Tips

    • Use a mix of different lentils for added flavor and texture; the creaminess of the white, the earthy flavor of the brown, and the peppery bite of the green will give this soup extra dimension.
    • For a thicker consistency, try blending a small portion of the lentils, then adding them back to the soup and stirring until incorporated.
  • Step 1

    Heat the oil in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat.  Add the thawed mirepoix and stir. Let sweat for 3-5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften and onions become translucent. 

  • Step 2

    Add the garlic and greens, and stir well until the greens just begin to wilt and the garlic becomes fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato soup, lentils, coconut milk and water. Stir well, and cover with a lid. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until vegetables are tender and lentils are heated through (about 15 minutes) and season to taste with salt and pepper.
