In a large stock pot, heat oil over med-high heat.
Cook onion & celery for about 3 minutes, then add garlic & zucchini noodles, toss/stir consistently for 2-3 minutes, then remove all cooked vegis from the pot, & set them aside.
Pour all remaining ingredients into the stock pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat & simmer for 20 minutes, covered, until carrots are soft.
Turn off heat.
Add cooked vegis/noodles mixture to the stock pot.
Let noodles heat through in the soup for about 2-3 minutes before serving.
Do not consume the bay leaves, they are only there to add flavor.
