Heat a large pot over medium heat and spray with non-stick cooking spray or add a small splash of water to prevent sticking.
Add the diced carrots, celery, zucchini, and onion to the pot. SautΓ© for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped green beans, shredded cabbage, canned diced tomatoes (including juices), tomato paste, and vegetable broth.
Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
Once the soup reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper as desired.
Five minutes before the soup is done, stir in the fresh spinach and let it wilt into the soup.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the lemon juice for a bright, fresh finish.
Serve the soup hot as a comforting, guilt-free meal. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
