- Add cooking oil (portion for soup) to Dutch oven and then onions and carrots and saute until soft, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add garlic, dried basil, and tomato paste and saute for 1 minute more. Add diced tomatoes (including liquid), zucchini, and stock. Cover soup and simmer until zucchini is tender, ~10 minutes.

- Taste soup and season with some salt and pepper.
- Serve soup with salad on the side. Enjoy!
