1. Saute the onion, garlic, and spices until onion is translucent.  Stir well so that it doesn’t burn.
2. Add tomatoes and tomato paste and saute some more.
3. Add vegetables and broth and bring to a boil.  simmer for 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
4. Once the vegetables are tender, turn off the heat and stir in lemon juice and fresh parsley.  Add salt and pepper to taste.

Sometimes my vegetables vary depending on what I have on hand.  I have been known to add spinach, green beans, kale, swiss chard, celery, bell peppers, etc.
