Step 1: Add enough olive oil to thinly coat the bottom of a large stockpot; you only need enough to sautee the veggies.
Step 2: Heat pan over medium-high heat; add diced onions, bell pepper, and zucchini, sauteeing until onions are softened, seasoning heavily to taste with Mrs. Dash Table Blend herb seasoning.
Step 3: Add tomatoes, then fill the tomato can with about 1/4-1/3 cup water and add to the pot.
Step 4: Add broth, ham, beans,sliced garlic and a bit of garlic salt to taste (not too much as the ham will provide some salt as well); feel free to add more Mrs Dash to taste if you like.
Step 5: Bring the pot to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, partially cover, and let cook about 35-45 minutes, stirring occasionally and testing for seasoning, adjusting as needed to your liking.
