1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 whole Yellow Onion
1 clove Garlic
12 ounces, weight Baby Carrots
2 whole Zucchini
1 pound Little Red Skinned Potatoes
8 ounces, weight Fresh Spinach Leaves
5 cups Chicken Broth

1
1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Dice onion into small pieces and mince garlic. I used tiny little baby carrots and so just kept them whole.
2
2. Dice zucchini into roughly one-inch cubes. Quarter the potatoes. Leave the skins on. Trust me. It's better that way. I didn't bother to cut up the spinach leaves. If you prefer to, go for it.
3
3. Add onions, garlic and carrots to the pot and saute until onions become translucent, about five minutes.
4
4. Add all of the other ingredients to the pot. No need to thaw the peas. Just toss them in. Increase heat to high and boil uncovered for 30 minutes.
5
And then you're pretty much done and ready to enjoy the soup. You may want to let it cool a little though.
