Amazing Vegetable Soup South Beach Diet

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.

Steps

Combine broth , cabbage , celery , leek , garlic , and green beans in an 8-quart soup pot.
Bring to a boil , reduce heat , and simmer until green beans are just tender.
Add tomatoes , zucchini , and squash and cook an additional 45 minutes.
