Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Stir in the sliced carrots, celery, and minced garlic. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the diced zucchini, chopped green beans, diced tomato, and shredded cabbage to the pot, and continue to sauté for about 3 minutes.
Pour in the low sodium vegetable broth, increase the heat to high, and bring to a boil.
Once the soup is boiling, add the bay leaf, black pepper, and dried thyme. Lower the heat to a simmer.
Let the soup simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender to your liking.
Remove the bay leaf from the pot, taste, and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
