Sausage Soup

Today I made some pretty awesome soup!  I used someone else's recipe as a guide but tweeked it and made it my own.  Here's the recipe:

1 box of chicken broth
2 lbs of chorizo
2 (15 oz) cans of kidney beans (I didn't use the beans)
1 28 oz can of diced tomatoes
2 yellow onions, diced
1 red onion, diced
4 stalks of celery, diced
5 cloves of garlic, minced
4-5 boullion cubes
1 box of ditalini pasta
1 stick of butter
1 can tomato paste

Remove the casing from the chorizo.  Sautee in a stock pot with some olive oil.  Once browned completely remove from pot and set aside.  Keep drippings in the pot.  In the same pot sautee the onions, garlic, and celery.  Once the onions are soft add the sausage back into the pot.  Add the chicken broth and diced tomatoes.  Season with some salt and pepper.  Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for about 35 minutes.  Add kidney beans.  Add 2 tomato cans full of water.  Let it simmer for another 35 minutes.  In the mean time boil water for the ditalini.  Follow box directions and drain pasta.  Set aside.  Add 4-5 bouillion cubes and stick of butter to the soup.  Then add the cooked pasta and can of tomato paste.  Let it simmer for about 10 more minutes. 

This goes great with some Italian bread to sop it up!
