Heat a large heavy bottom pot or Dutch oven on medium high heat, adding a touch of broth, then the onion, garlic, celery and carrots. Cook until lightly tender before adding a can of diced tomatoes and vegetable broth. Once everything has begun to boil add potatoes and green beans, then, lower the heat and let simmer for 30 minutes or until everything is nice and tender.
