Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat the 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the 1 chopped onion and 1 chopped bell pepper, and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add the 2 chopped tomatoes and cook until they break down and become saucy, about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in the 2 cups water or broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 5 minutes so the flavors meld.

  4. Step 4

    Stir in the 4 cups chopped leafy greens and cook until wilted and tender, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
