Directions
In a large pot, sauté the onion and garlic in the olive oil (put the onion in first, and add the garlic when the onion starts to look a little translucent) for about 10 minutes.
Run the garbanzo beans and tomatoes through a blender or food processor until they are finely chopped, but not smooth.
Add all the ingredients to the pot, and simmer, uncovered, for 45 minutes to an hour, stirring occasionally.
