1/2 cup chopped carrots (about 1 medium)
1 can (14-1/2 oz.) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (19 oz.) red kidney beans, drained, rinsed

2 cups water
1 tsp. Italian seasoning (if you don’t have this – just throw in some seasoning salt)

Grated Parmesan Cheese
I add a can of tomato paste with the broth and a chopped zucchini when I add the pasta.
