This is a great way to use up fresh garden zucchini if you've eaten enough of it fresh and need to mix it up a bit. I used a spicy Italian sausage (which I think gives way more flavor) beef bouillion and red onion, but feel free to vary according to your palate.

Ingredients:
1 lb bulk italian sausage
1 onion (medium, sliced)
15 ounces garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
14 1/2 ounces diced tomatoes, undrained
14 1/2 ounces beef broth
1 1/2 cups water
2 zucchini (medium-sized, cut into 1/4-inch slices)
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
parmesan cheese (grated)
Directions:
1. In a 3-quart saucepan, brown sausage and onion and drain.
2. Stir in beans, tomatoes, broth, water, zucchini, and basil. Bring to a boil.
3. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes or until zucchini is tender.
4. Sprinkle each serving with cheese.
