- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium zucchini, cut into ½-inch half-moons
- 2 cups green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, no salt added
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tsp dried thyme

For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add the carrots and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant and the carrots begin to soften slightly, about 2 minutes. Watch the garlic closely so it does not brown.
