1 (14 ½ oz) can of diced tomatoes, undrained
1 14 oz can beef broth
2 carrots, sliced
1/2 C onion, roughly chopped
1 C dried great Northern beans - or your choice
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 ½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
1 ½ tsp fresh or dried rosemary
basil, oregano, garlic seasonings to taste
1 tsp rubbed sage
