In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until softened and slightly translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the carrots, celery, and bell pepper to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in the zucchini and green beans, and continue to cook for 3-4 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth and diced tomatoes, then add oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Add the fresh spinach or kale and allow it to wilt for about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in lemon juice and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
