Step 1

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, celery, carrot, and basil; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens, about 3 minutes. Add the mixed vegetables and cook until thawed, about 4 minutes longer. Pour in the broth and tomatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the carrot is tender, 15-20 minutes.

Step 2

Stir in the linguine, cover, and simmer until tender, about 12 minutes. Stir in the beans and cook until heated through, 2-3 minutes longer.
