- 2 stalks celery stalks, diced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 1 large zucchini, diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped

Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, stirring until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the diced celery, carrots, zucchini, bell pepper, and broccoli. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the ground beef or turkey, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until the meat is browned and cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and beef or chicken broth. Stir to combine.
Add the fresh thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Bring the soup to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for about 25 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
