What You Should Know

You'd spot this in the prepared soups or grab-and-go refrigerated section at Whole Foods or pulled from the pantry for a quick, cozy weeknight meal. It feels wholesome and comforting—a mildly spiced, nourishing soup that aims for health-forward convenience rather than indulgence. The ingredient list is dominated by whole foods (lentils, spinach, vegetables, olive oil) with only minimal additives (citric acid in canned tomatoes), so the texture will be naturally creamy from coconut milk and oil and the processing looks closer to a processed prepared food than a highly engineered ultra‑processed product.
