Garden Vegetable Soup

According to weight watchers, this is a zero point meal. Unless of course you are like me and eat it with a side of garlic bread. mmmm...

6 cups broth (chicken or veg)
2 carrots, diced
1 large onion, diced
5 cloves, minced garlic
1/2 cabbage, chopped
1/2 pound green beans
3 tablespoons tomato paste ( I use pasta sauce)
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 small jalapeno (use more or less depending on your taste)
1 large zucchini, diced

Pour olive oil in a pan and allow to heat on med for 1 min. Add the carrots, onion and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes. Add all the remaining ingredients, except for 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. Add the zucchini and cook until the zucchini are tender. Serve and enjoy!
