Minestrone Soup

I got this recipe from my coworker, Suzanne Clissold. She's a fabulous cook.

1.5 lb ground sausage (I used chicken sausage--Lees makes it)
2 quarts water
4 beef boullion cubes
3 stalks celery with leaves, diced (I left this out, I am not a big fan of cooked celery)
2 small onions, diced
4 large carrots, diced or sliced
2- 8 oz cans tomato sauce
15 oz canned stewed tomatoes
1 clove garlic minced
1/2 tsp sweet basil
1 tsp oregano
1 tbsp parsley

1. Saute sausage and onions in a pot, then add the rest of the ingredients. Simmer for 2-4 hours.
2. Half and hour prior to serving add the following ingredients:

1 can french cut green beans, drained
1 can garbonzo beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup uncooked noodles
