My version of the WW no point veggie soup

I made some variations on the WW no point soup, and generally make up a big pot of it to last a few days. I will eat it most days for lunch, with some crackers. I like my soup to be more 'chunky' than 'soupy'.

1/2 cup or so sliced carrots
1/2 cup or so diced celery
saute them in a big pot with a good spray of cooking spray.
toss in some garlic (I keep minced garlic in my fridge, about a tsp is good)

after the veggies soften up a bit, I add in
1 28 oz can diced tomatoes
3 or 4 cups low sodium chicken or veggie broth
2 tsp dried basil
2 tsp dried oregano

then I throw in veggies.
maybe a cup, cup and a half of
-frozen peas, frozen beans
and for variety I may add in:
-chopped fresh spinach
-broccoli (fresh or frozen)

I simmer it for about 10 -15 minutes, until all the veggies are soft enough, but not mushy. Delicious! 0 points!! one cup is one serving of veggies too.
