Tuscan Garbanzo Bean soup

I bought beans last night and saw a recipe on the can, that I thought looked good, so I made my own version!  The ingredients are:

1 chopped onion
2 celery stalks, chopped
Handful baby carrots, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
2 sprigs rosemary, chopped
salt and pepper
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
1qt vegetable stock
1c elbow macaroni
1/4c grated parmesan

I sauteed the onion, celery, and carrots for about 5 minutes.  I salted and peppered them to help them along a little.  When they were about soft, I added the garlic and rosemary and sauteed for 1 minute more.  Then I added the tomatoes, beans, and stock.  I brought this to a boil and simmered for 10 minutes.  I then took out 2 ladles full (mostly veggies and beans, not broth) and added to my immersion blender container.  I added the macaroni to the remaining soup and boiled for 8 minutes.  I added the parmesan cheese to the blender mixture and blended until smooth.  When the macaroni was done, I added the blended mixture in.  It was a creamy delicious soup!  It probably could have used more salt for my taste, but the kids didn't notice and they don't need it anyway!
