Instructions: Saute the onion and garlic in olive oil for a few minutes. Chop up or lightly process the tomatoes and place into a crockpot along with the broth and sauteed onion and garlic. Add the parsley and a little salt and pepper, cook for about 3 hours on LOW.

Add the cooked macaroni and beans; cook an additional 30 minutes on LOW, until hot. Serve with a bit of grated cheese if desired.

Comments: If fresh garden tomatoes are available, remove skins of 6 or 7 and use them instead of canned tomatoes.
