  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped, or more to taste
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 5 carrots, sliced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with garlic and oregano
  • 1/2 cup red wine (optional)
  • 1 (16 ounce) package frozen green beans
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup seashell pasta, or more to taste
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste


  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-low heat. Cook and stir garlic in hot oil until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add onion; cook and stir until slightly softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in carrots until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.
  2. Pour chicken broth and diced tomatoes into onion mixture; bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Add red wine, reduce heat to low, and stir green beans, pinto beans, spinach, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper into broth mixture. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 40 minutes.
  3. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook seashell pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and stir pasta into soup. Ladle soup into bowls and top with Parmesan cheese.
