Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté for 5–7 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Step 2: Build the Soup Base
Add the zucchini and broccoli to the pot. Stir to combine.
Pour in the broth and bring to a gentle boil.
Step 3: Simmer and Season
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the oregano, turmeric, salt, and pepper.
Cover and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender.
Step 4: Add Optional Ingredients
If using spinach or kale, stir it in during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
For quinoa or rice, add them to individual bowls before ladling the soup over.
