  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 2 cups green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups vegetable broth

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
  • Add the carrots and celery to the pot, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
