METHOD
In large pot, spray a little oil to coat (if not non stick).    Add onion, carrots, celery and speck and sauté for 3 minutes until onions are translucent and vegetables are starting to soften.  Add potato  and garlic and cook for further 2 minutes stirring occasionally.  Add canned tomatoes and chicken stock.  Bring to boil then reduce to a simmer for 25 minutes stirring occasionally.  Add in drained beans, zucchini and pasta and cook until pasta is soft.  Stir pot every couple of mins so pasta doesn't stick to pot.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.
