Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the pancetta, shallot and celery and cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until shallot softens. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min or until aromatic. Add the pasta, tomato, stock and beans and bring to a simmer.
Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 12-15 mins or until pasta is al dente. Add the frozen vegetables and cook for a further 2-3 mins or until heated through. Season.
Ladle soup into a serving bowl. Sprinkle with parmesan and parsley. Serve with toasted garlic bread.
Smart swap: Replace the frozen veg with any firm veggies you have in the crisper. Diced carrots, pumpkin or green beans would work well.
