1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups green beans, trimmed and cut

3. Add the cabbage, bell pepper, green beans, and zucchini. Stir to combine.
4. Pour in the diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, and tomato paste. Stir well until the tomato paste dissolves.
5. Add the Italian seasoning, paprika, black pepper, and salt.

Use low-sodium broth so you can control the salt level more easily.
For a firmer texture, add the zucchini during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
This soup tastes even better the next day after the flavors have blended.
