Instructions
Fill a 5L pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add all the vegetables (broccoli, carrot, celery, green beans, onion, and garlic), holding back the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, seasonings, and tarragon (or your herb of choice).
Let everything boil for about 20 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and a knife slides easily through the broccoli stems.
Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and tarragon. Season with sea salt and pepper to taste, then serve warm.
Notes
Tarragon can be replaced with fresh oregano if you don't have it on hand. The apple cider vinegar amount is to taste, so start with less and add more once the soup is off the heat.
