SHIFT+A > Add Curve > Bezier Circle:

Set to 2D and Fill Both:

Tab into Edit Mode and with all points selected, press SHIFT+D to duplicate the circle, S to Scale it down:

W (RCS), or right-click next to  Curve Object (when using LCS) and Subdivide:

3 times:

V > Switch type of selected points to Vector:
