Instructions
Prepare the vegetables: dice the yellow onion and carrot, and mince the garlic cloves.
In a Crock Pot, add the crushed tomatoes, chicken or vegetable broth, diced onion, minced garlic, and diced carrot.

Cover the Crock Pot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2 hours.
