Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once it is hot, add the garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the carrots, celery, onion, bell pepper, and zucchini. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are softened. Add the vegetable broth, tomatoes, herbs and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Serve in bowls topped with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley or basil leaves.
Notes
Make sure to cook the vegetables in batches so that they don't overcrowd the pot.
If you want a thicker soup, try adding some beans or potatoes.
If you're looking for a vegan version, simply replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth and omit the Parmesan cheese.
You can also add other vegetables like mushrooms or spinach for variety.
Taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed.
