Directions
  1. In a large pot, cook garlic in hot oil for about 1 minute. Stir in carrots, snap peas and zucchini. Cook about 3 to 4 minutes longer, until veggies are slightly browned and still crisp tender. Add about 2 teaspoons salt.
  2. Add broth and tomatoes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat. Cover, simmer for 25 to 30 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.
