Tortellini Soup

Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the sausage when the oil just starts to smoke. Remove sausage to a bowl lined with paper towels to drain.

Add 2 teaspoons of olive oil to the Dutch oven, reduce to medium heat, and wait for it to shimmer. Add onion and saute until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Clear a space in the middle of the pan and add the garlic there. When garlic is fragrant (30 seconds), stir it into the onions. Add celery, carrots, beans, tomatoes with their juice, and broth. Dissolve tomato paste in water and add to the pot. Bring to a simmer and reduce to medium-low to low heat.

Simmer for 45 minutes or until carrots are soft. Add tortellini and cook until done, about 15-20 minutes more.
