1. Add all ingredients except last four to crockpot; cover.
2. Cook on high for about an hour (or more if necessary; I cooked mine for almost 3 hours just to make sure the dried herbs softened up enough).
3. Add beans, noodles and potatoes and cook for 15-30 minutes (just enough to heat through).
4. Serve with Parmesan sprinkled on top.
