My first attempt at minestrone.

3 cloves garlic
1 shallot

Finely dice and frizzle in olive oil with salt and pepper. While this is happening, slice 3 ribs celery and one medium carrot. Cut a zucchini (about 8 inches) in half, then slice in half lengthwise and slice into thin half-moons. Put all this in with the garlic, shallots, and olive oil.

Add about 400-450 mL beef broth, a large can of diced tomatoes and the liquid, and one can of mixed beans. Strip and dice a scant handful of fresh oregano and add. Salt and pepper to taste, adding a dash of sugar.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer. Add 3 handfuls dried pasta (I am using penne) and continue simmering until done.

I'll let you know how it turns out.
