Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the diced carrots, celery, and potatoes to the pot. Stir to combine and cook for 5 minutes.
Add the zucchini, tomatoes, vegetable broth, bay leaf, thyme, cumin, salt, and pepper to the pot.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, add the green beans to the pot and cook for another 10 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender.
Remove the bay leaf and taste the soup, adjusting salt and pepper if needed.
