  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and chop your vegetables, dicing the onion and mincing the garlic. Cut the bell peppers, zucchini, and eggplant into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Sauté Aromatics and Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large pot, sauté onion until softened, add garlic for a minute, then the bell peppers. Add zucchini and eggplant, cooking until softened.
  3. Simmer the Soup: Stir in crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and vegetable broth along with seasonings. Bring to a simmer, cover, and let cook on low for at least 30 minutes.
