Heat olive oil in a pot on med. Chop an onion and a few cloves of garlic. Saute in the olive oil for like 5-7 minutes. Add a can of diced tomatoes, a can of chicken (Costco-sized), broth or water to cover, and some italian spices (like basil, oregano, marjoram, sage, or any blend you like). I also added some dried garlic. Stir everything together, turn up the heat, and start to bring it to a boil. Grab some greens (like kale or spinach), tear 'em up, and throw them in.
There's some sort of adage that says "A soup boiled is a soup spoiled." Not in this case! If the soup comes to a rolling boil, you can turn it down some, but I just let roll away until the greens were wilted and all the ingredients were definitely hot.
Prep-start-time to blowing-on-food-trying-to-get-it-in-mouth time: 20 min.
Review: I'd probably add two cans of chicken next time to up the protein content. This is definitely not high gourmet, but it was good and easy.
