Preparation

Step 1

In a large saucepan, sprayed with nonstick cooking spray, saute carrot, onion and garlic over low heat until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add broth, cabbage, beans, tomato paste, basi, oregano and salt. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer, covered, about 15 minutes or until beans are tender(only if using fresh).

Stir in zucchini and heat 3-4 minutes more. Serve hot.

If you add cooked chicken, adjust the points accordingly.
