Garden Vegetable Soup (diet recipe-42 calories, 0 g fat, 2 g fiber)

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup sliced carrot
• ½ cup diced onion
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 cups fat free broth (beef, chicken, or vegetable)
• 1 ½ cups diced green cabbage
• ½ cup green beans
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• ½ teaspoon dried basil
• ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup diced zucchini

Method

In large saucepan sprayed with nonstick spray (or I use a very small amount of olive or vegetable oil) sauté the carrot, onion, and garlic over low heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add broth, cabbage, beans, tomato paste, basil, oregano, and salt; bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer, covered for about 15 minutes or until beans are tender. Stir in zucchini and heat 3-4 minutes. Serve hot. Makes four 1-cup servings.
