This could also be called " Pasta Soup with White Beans and Sausage," but the soup smells so much like pizza while it cooks, our name for it is Pizza Soup.

1poundhot Italian sausage
1stalk celerysliced thinly
14-ouncecan garlic stewed tomatoes
2quartsor 8 cups beef broth
2cupscooked white beansor 1 can small white beans, drained
2/3cupsmall shell pastaI buy the tiny shells (see note below)
Instructions
In a large pot, cook and crumble the sausage over medium heat. Drain completely and then add all remaining ingredients except the pasta.
Bring to a boil and add the pasta shells. After the water boils again, reduce the heat and simmer until the pasta is tender, about 16-20 minutes. Enjoy!
Notes
I like to use the teeny pasta found in the Hispanic section of most grocery stores. This pasta is often called salad pasta or salad-size pasta. Most pasta will swell to double or triple the original size after cooking, so keep that in mind when selecting your pasta.
