How to make homemade minestrone soup! This hearty soup is great for the fall when you can use gleanings from the garden. It's filling but not heavy like cream soups.

What you'll need:
2-3 Tbsp olive oil
1 small zucchini, chopped
1/2 cup green beans, fresh or frozen (75g)
1 small onion, chopped
1 medium carrot, grated
1 rib celery, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced

In a large dutch oven or soup pot, saute the zucchini, green beans, onion, carrot and celery over medium-high heat. When the onions become translucent, add garlic and saute another few minutes.
