Ingredients
1 TBSP olive oil1 pound very lean ground beef1 cup chopped onions3 cloves minced garlic1 cup julianned carrots2 tsp salt1 tsp basil1 tsp oregano1/2 tsp cayenne pepper1/2 tsp thyme28 oz tomato sauce (low sodium)32 oz chicken stock15 oz kidney beans (rinsed and drained)15 oz white beans (rinsed and drained)1 cup ditalini pasta
Directions
Heat 1 Tbsp oil in skillet and add ground beef, cook completely and add onion, garlic and carrots. Cook stirring occasionally for 10 mins. Pour into crock pot. Add salt, oregano, basil, thyme and cayenne pepper.

Blend tomatoes in blender until all chunks are gone. Add tomatoes, beans and beef stock to crock pot. Cook on low for 7 hours.

Pour uncooked pasta into soup and stir. Cook for 30 mins. more. Don't be fooled...even though this looks like it's not enough pasta...trust me! It grows! If you add too much, it sucks up all your sauce and gets really soggy!

    Delicious! Easy to make, serving total very accurate. I added a little celery salt to the beef as it was browning. - 7/31/13
