• 1 14.5 oz can Canned diced tomatoes (no salt added)

• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 1 Bay leaf
• 0.5 teaspoon (optional) Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all the vegetables by washing, peeling, and chopping them as directed in the ingredients list.

Step 2

In a large soup pot, add the diced onion, minced garlic, sliced celery, and chopped carrots. Sauté the vegetables for 2-3 minutes on medium heat using a splash of water or vegetable broth to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Add the zucchini, green beans, and cabbage to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, and water. Stir to combine all the ingredients.

Step 5

Mix in the thyme, basil, bay leaf, salt (if using), and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil on high heat.

Step 6

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender.

Step 7

Taste the soup and adjust seasonings if needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot.
