Heat olive oil in a pot, then add the garlic to infuse the oil as it warms.
Once the oil is hot, add chopped onion, celery, and carrot, cooking until softened.
Pour in a splash of red wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Add broth, water, and tomato paste, stirring to create a flavorful tomato broth.
Stir in the beans, zucchini, green beans, and spinach, allowing the vegetables to release their juices and enrich the soup.
Season with fresh oregano, basil, salt, and pepper to taste.
Simmer the soup gently until all the vegetables are tender.
Meanwhile, cook small pasta shells according to package instructions.
If serving immediately, stir the cooked pasta directly into the soup. Otherwise, place pasta in bowls and ladle the soup over it.
Serve topped with grated Parmesan, freshly ground black pepper, fresh basil, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
