No broth? The trick is in the type of veggies, and how they are layered in the soup pot.

Prep Time20 minsCook Time20 minsTotal Time40 mins
Ingredients
 4 large Tomatoes, diced
 1 large Onion, diced
 4 cloves Garlic, minced
 1 large or 2 medium Zucchini, sliced thin

 1 ½ cups Green Beans, diced
 ¼ cup Fresh Basil, chopped
 ¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
 Sea Salt (to taste)
 Black Pepper (to taste)
1

In a large soup pot, layer the vegetables in the order they are written in the directions. Pour the olive oil on top.

2

Cover pot and bring to a boil. Keep lid on, turn down to simmer, and cook for another 20 minutes.

3

Season to taste with salt and pepper.

4

Enjoy! If you tolerate cheese, you can add some freshly grated Parmesan. Make a meal by adding leftover chicken, or beans.

Additional Notes:

A client of mine recently shared a recipe with me that I found very intriguing. She called it her No Broth Layered Soup. Wait – what? Is it really possible to make a soup without adding any broth or water? Tonight I found out that the answer is YES! You will not believe how delicious AND easy this is.
