- Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the olive oil. Allow it to warm for about a minute.
- Sauté the diced onion, celery, and carrots in the olive oil for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, allowing it to become fragrant.
- Incorporate the red and white kidney beans along with the dried oregano, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir and bring to a gentle boil.
- Add the shell pasta and zucchini into the boiling soup. Lower heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
