Rinse, halve lengthwise and slice the zucchini. Rinse, drain and divide the spinach leaves into large pieces. Cut the stalks into small pieces. Remove the stem from the tomatoes. Briefly blanch, peel, remove the seeds and chop the tomatoes.
Rinse and cut the ends of the beans. If necessary, halve the beans.
Sweat the onion in butter until translucent. Add the celery, carrots, potatoes and green beans. Saute for 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and spinach. Saute for another 5 minutes. Pour in 2 liters (approximately 8.5 cups) of water and bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat for 1 hour.
