Minestrone

I found this in a Vegetarian book and tweeked it to make it low-fat and whole grain

1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
5 cups vegetable stock
1/2 cup dry great Northern Beans
2 large carrots, sliced thin
2 potatoes, cut into bite sized pieces
1 turnip, cut into bite sized pieces
1 celery stock, sliced
2 fresh basil leafs, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram

1/4 small cabbage, shredded (I used nappa cabbage)
2 oz whole wheat pasta

Combine the first 12 ingredients in a crock pot and cook on low for 8 hrs or more.  Add pasta and cabbage and cook for an additional 15 minutes.  If it is too acidic, add 1 tsp sugar.  Add salt and pepper to taste.
