Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the celery, zucchini, bell pepper, cabbage, and green beans to the pot. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, to slightly soften the vegetables.

Mix in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice) and pour in the chicken or vegetable broth.

Step 6

Season the soup with Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 7

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 8

If using cooked shredded chicken or ground turkey, stir it into the soup during the last 5 minutes of cooking to heat through.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
