Garden Vegetable Soup

Ingredients:

• 3/4 c. carrots, diced
• 1/2 c. onion, diced
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 3 c. fat-free chicken broth
• 1 1/2 c. cabbage, diced
• 1 can of green beans
• 1 T. tomato paste (I tend to use a little extra)
• 1/2 t. dried basil
• 1/4 t. dried oregano
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 c. zucchini

Directions:
Saute carrots, onions and garlic. Add all but the zucchini. Bring to a boil. Cover, turn down heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in zucchini and heat for an additional 3 to 4 minutes.
I prefer a good amount of pepper in this recipe. Red pepper flakes can be added.
