Heat the oil in a large pot on medium high heat. Add in the onion, celery, pepper and garlic and cook until they begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.

Add in the beans, diced tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, corn, broth or water and bay leaves and stir. Stir in the squash.
Bring a boil then cover and reduce the heat to maintain a low simmer. Cook until the squash is tender, which is about 1 hour. Make sure to stir it every so often
Once the squash is soft, remove the bay leaves and stir in the parsley.
