Green card, Your oath letter and your passport if you had gone to your home country after your interview.
you just have to bring it regardless whether you travelled abroad or not....and your passport if you had gone to your home country after your interview.
Honestly there is no such requirement to bring your passport, if you check your form N-445.
Documents You Need to Bring
Form N-445 lists a number of documents to bring to the ceremony.
Permanent Resident Card
USCIS collects your green card because you will not need it once you are
a citizen. If you lost your green card, USCIS may want an explanation. If it
was stolen, USCIS may also ask to see a police report.
Re-Entry Permit
A Re-Entry Permit is a document used by a permanent resident to re-enter
the country after the person has been outside of the United States more than
a year. The Re-Entry Permit is evidence that the person did not abandon
his or her permanent residence. It shows the reason that the person had to
be outside the country for a long period of time. USCIS wants to see this
document at the ceremony, even if it has expired, to know that the person
is still a permanent resident eligible to naturalize.
Refugee Travel Document
A Refugee Travel Document is used by refugees and asylees to travel outside
the United States without a passport. Once they are citizens, refugees and
asylees should use a United States passport.
All USCIS Documents You Have
All immigration documents issued by USCIS will be collected at the
ceremony because you will no longer need them as a citizen.

No requirement to bring your foreign passport. IF you take a trip abroad after your interview, you can list it on the oath form and, if you want, take your passport with you if they ask for proof. It's not a big deal.

Don't forget your DL or state ID.
