*** Garden Vegetable Soup

• 1/2 cup sliced carrots
• 1/4 diced onions
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 3 cups fat-free vegetable broth

• 1 cup chopped spinach
• 1 Tbsp tomato paste
• 1/2 tsp dried basil
• 1/4 tsp dried oregano
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup diced zucchini

Spray a large saucepan with nonstick cooking spray, heat. Saute the carrot, onion, and garlic over low heat until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add broth, cabbage, spinach, tomato paste, basil, oregano, and salt; bring to a boil.

Reduce heat; toss in pasta after a few minutes and cover, simmering for a total of 15 minutes (including time used to cook pasta). Stir in the zucchini, and cook 3-4 minutes more.

Serve hot.
