  2. Stir in diced potatoes, tomatoes, and zucchini, cooking for a few minutes until slightly tender.
  3. Pour in vegetable broth and water, bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer.
  4. Add green beans and season with salt and pepper, continuing to simmer until all vegetables are tender.
  5. Serve hot and enjoy your homemade vegetable soup.

Notes

For an extra boost of flavor, roast some of your vegetables before adding them to the soup. You can also add your favorite herbs like thyme or bay leaf during simmering.
