Directions:1. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Cook zucchini until just tender, about 5 minutes. Add half of garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Transfer to plate and tent with foil.
2. Add remaining oil, onion, and carrot to empty Dutch oven and cook until onion is golden, about 8 minutes. Add half of tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until juices have evaporated and tomatoes begin to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add wine and simmer, scraping up any browned bits, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Add green beans, navy beans, thyme, broth, and remaining tomatoes and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until green beans are tender, about 15 minutes.
3. Stir in reserved zucchini and basil and simmer until heated through, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper. Serve.
Make Ahead: The soup can be prepared through step 2 and then refrigerated for 2 days, with the squash reserved separately. When ready to serve, bring the soup to a simmer over medium heat and proceed with step 3. |
