0 point vegetable soup

6 cups broth
Cooking spray
2 carrots, peeled and diced
1 large onion, diced
4 teaspoons garlic ( or four cloves garlic, minced)
1/2 cabbage, chopped (or use a bag of slaw, the biggest chunks you can find vs the fine)
1/2 pound frozen green beans
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large zucchini, diced

1)Bring the broth to a boil in the microwave. (This is a time-saving tip that can be skipped if there's no hurry.)
2)Spray a Dutch oven (or large pot) with cooking spray and heat on MEDIUM HIGH. Add the carrots, onion and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes.
3)Add all the remaining ingredients EXCEPT the zucchini and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to MEDIUM and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the beans are tender.
4)Add the zucchini and cook until the zucchini are tender. Serve and enjoy!
