From the Kosher Palette II

2 cups chicken broth or vegetable stock
1 (15 oz can) chick peas, drained
1 (14 oz.) can diced tomatoes, not drained
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup uncooked ditalini pasta
2 T. chopped fresh parsley

Heat oil in a large saucepan, and saute onions for 3 minutes. Add broth, chick peas, tomatoes, water, cumin, cinnamon and black pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, simmer for 5 minutes. Add pasta, cook another 9 minutes. Stir in parsley. Makes 4-6 servings

Very fast, easy and tastes good.
