Amazing Vegetable Soup (South Beach Diet) image

This was posted by a fellow SBDer, Mamacita, in the 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet boards. It's a wonderfully delicious, simple, vegetable soup. It originally called for zucchini, but I leave it out as I dislike summer squash. Feel free to add some in if you like, though. I sometimes add in a can of navy beans, rinsed and drained, with the tomatoes. For South Beach Diet, make sure your tomatoes have no added sugar. It makes quite a bit, but it reheats fairly well--or you can cool and freeze it. Don't be afraid of the garlic--it mellows out a lot during cooking.

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 quarts chicken broth or 2 quarts vegetable broth

5 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 cup fresh green beans, cut into 2-inch lengths

shredded parmesan cheese, optional garnish (optional)

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.
