Vegistrone

By Weight Watchers, originally called Weight Watchers Garden Vegetable Soup.

AM: This soup was dubbed "Vegistrone" by my good friend Jenn as she felt it needed a more clever name.  I agree, and I have now made this recipe twice. Delicious as is, great with a little parmesan cheese on top, wonderfully satisfying with a hunk of good bread.

Ingredients
Makes 6 servings
1/2 cup carrots, sliced
1/4 cup onions, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups fat-free beef, chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup green cabbage, diced
1 cup spinach, chopped
1 tbsp tomato paste
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup zucchini, diced
Directions
Spray a large saucepan with nonstick cooking spray, and heat.
Place carrot, onion and garlic in saucepan. Sauté vegetables over low heat for 5 minutes, until softened.
Add broth, cabbage, spinach, tomato paste, basil, oregano and salt. Bring saucepan to a boil.
Reduce heat, and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Stir in zucchini, and cook 3-4 minutes.
