Mindymo25

Here is the recipe I was speaking of, as promised.

2 cans pinto beans

1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes

2 cans beef broth

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 large onion chopped

4 celery chopped

3 carrots chopped

1/2 cup parsley chopped

1/2 cup olive oil

2 tsp salt

1 tbls basil

1/4 pepper

8 oz macaroni shells

1 parmasean cheese rind (optionial)

Mash beans in pot over medium heat and add tomatoes and beef broth.

In frying pan, saute celery, carrots, onion, parsley and garlic in olive oil.  Once soft add this to the soup.

Add all other spices (and cheese rind, if using) and stir.  Put lid on and simmer on low for 2 hours.  Add water if too thick.  Add macaroni and serve.

Like Val said in her recipe, go easy on the macaroni because it really sucks up all of the liquid.
