What's For Supper?

With a couple kids sick with sore throats and coughs, 

and the -7 weather today, 

soup hits the spot!

Bean Counter Chowder

Chopped Onion

2 Garlic Cloves (I use minced sometimes)

1 Tbsp oil

14 oz Stewed or chopped Tomatoes

(I used Petite Diced)

2 -14 oz cans chicken broth (or vegetable broth)

1 3/4 cups water

1/2 tsp each:

basil

Oregano

Celery Flakes

1/4 tsp Pepper

3 cans Great Northern Beans or Pinto Beans

(I always use whatever I have on hand--kidney is fine)

1 cup uncooked Elbow Macaroni

1 Tbsp Parsley

You can either make this on the stove or in the crockpot.

I put it all together except the noodles, in the crockpot, 

then, about 1/2 hour before eating, add the noodles.
This is the original recipe, but I am not exact on the beans or broth when I make it!

It also makes a great, easy, Friday, meatless, crockpot meal!
