Instructions: Dry saute onions in a large pot until translucent, add garlic and saute until fragrant. Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Stir and lower heat, simmer, stirring occasionally, 35 minutes or until the texture pleases.

Ive added red bell pepper, garbanzos, crushed red pepper and small white beans to this (not at the same time!) and its been great every time. When REALLY pressed for time, Ive skipped the saute step altogether, tossed the whole thing into a really big microwaveable casserole and nuked it, covered, on HIGH for 25 minutes, sometimes adding some orzo to keep the juices from spilling over. Its yummy with pasta, rice or just by itself.
