Add the next 5 ingredients.
Cook for 5 minutes or until soft.
Add in the tomatoes , parsley , basil , thyme , and rosemary.
Bring to a simmer and simmer for 15 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
In a large soup pot , heat the water with 1 teaspoon of salt to boiling.
Pour in the cornmeal in a slow stream while whisking constantly.
Lower the heat and simmer , stirring often with a wooden utensil , for 20 minutes or until the polenta is thick and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
