Heat olive oil in a 6 quart or larger pot over medium-high heat; add onions, carrots, celery, zucchini and squash; saute for 4 minutes; add garlic, red pepper flakes, thyme and rosemary; cook 30 seconds. Stir in stock/broth, beans and tomatoes; bring to a boil; turn heat to low; add the chopped escarole. Cover; simmer for 15 minutes.
Use an immersion blender or transfer a small amount to a blender to partially puree the soup, leaving some chunks of beans and vegetables for texture.
Add salt, pepper, sugar and vinegar; adjust seasonings to taste.
Serve topped with slices of fresh Parmesan cheese and a crusty bread or garlic toast.
