"A VERY easy vegetarian meal in a bowl. The combination of garbanzo beans (chick peas) with pasta creates the complex proteins a vegetarian needs. Very palatable for the garlic and tomato lover."

Ingredients:
3 (14.5 ounce) cans vegetable broth
3/4 cup small seashell pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, chopped, juice reserved
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
salt and pepper to taste
