Meanwhile, cook onions in the 3 tablespoons oil until translucent, stirring often, for about 7 minutes, then add the bell peppers and cook for another 5 minutes, and add zucchini and peas and cook for 5 minutes.
Add salt, pepper, dried herbs, broth, tomato paste, olives, and artichokes, then stir well.
