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

 ¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
 Sea Salt (to taste)
 Black Pepper (to taste)

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

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.
