Ingredients
- 3-4 cloves garlic
- 1 yellow onion
- 1-2 carrot medium

Instructions
- Prepare veggies: Mince garlic. Dice onion, carrots, zucchini, and mushrooms. Roughly chop cabbage. Cut broccoli and cauliflower into small bite-sized pieces.
- In a large stockpot over medium-high heat, sauté onion for 5-7 minutes. (I use 3 Tbsp. broth/water for no-oil sauté method, adding more as needed.)
- Add garlic (and any dried herbs if using) and sauté 1 minute.
- Add broth, tomatoes with juice, and all veggies (except spinach).
- Increase heat and bring to a light boil.
- Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20-30 minutes or until vegetables are desired tenderness.
- Stir in spinach during last couple minutes of cooking time. Salt to taste.

Notes
- This recipe yields a large batch; halve the ingredients if a smaller quantity is desired.
- Add dried herbs such as basil, oregano, or parsley for enhanced flavor if preferred.
- Frozen vegetables can be used as fill-ins to reduce prep time or when fresh produce is unavailable.
- Let the soup cool completely before freezing; it stores well frozen for convenient reheating.
