make it
In a large pot add oil, zucchini/squash and garlic over medium heat. Let soften and slightly brown. Add broth, water, chopped tomatoes with the juices, paste and bay leaves. Add all other veggies except spinach.
Let boil for about 15 minutes, and then add cooked rice or pasta.
At the end lower heat and add the spinach leaves just until they wilt down, for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Notes
Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top before you eat. Vegetables can be added or omitted. If using a whole bay leaf remove it before adding the spinach.
