Ingredients
  

4 medium zucchinis, spiralized into noodles

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 medium carrots, diced

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

4 cups vegetable broth

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

2 cups fresh baby spinach

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast for a vegan option

Instructions
 

Heat the Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.

    Add Garlic and Veggies: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute. Then, add the diced carrots and chopped red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

      Incorporate Tomatoes and Broth: Add the halved cherry tomatoes, vegetable broth, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

        Add Zucchini Noodles: Once the soup has simmered, gently stir in the zucchini noodles and cook for another 3-4 minutes until they are tender but still have a bit of crunch.

          Finish with Spinach: Fold in the fresh baby spinach and let it wilt for about 1-2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

            Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil leaves. For added richness, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast.
