  1. In a dutch oven or soup pot heat oil until it shimmers on med-low. Add onion, carrots, celery, garlic and salt. Stir and cover cooking them about 10 mins. Stir occasionally and turn down the temperature if veggies start to brown. Add zucchini and continue to cook another 10 mins until everything is soft.

Notes
You can edit the ingredient list pretty easily, with veggies you like or prefer. For example, I've added spinach or kale when i add the beans, tomatoes and broth. Don't have any fresh herbs, but there's a jar of pesto in your house? Add 1-2 Tbs to taste. This soup is great for freezing!
