2 tsp minced garlic
2 Tbsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp salt

Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery; cook until the onion is
translucent and celery soft, about 5 minutes.
Add garlic, Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper, salt and pepper, stir to coat veggies.
Stir in beans, Parmesan, chicken broth, bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat.
