   • Begin by steaming the Italian sausage for approximately 15 minutes to reduce its fat content.
   • Once cooked, allow the sausage to cool before slicing it into bite-sized pieces. You may opt to remove the casing if desired.

2. Sauté Ingredients:

   • In a large pot, lightly brown the sliced sausage pieces in olive oil. Once browned, remove the sausage from the pot and drain off any excess oil.
   • In the same pot, add diced onions, minced garlic, sliced celery, diced carrots, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté these vegetables until they’re softened but not browned.

3. Combine Ingredients:

   • Return the cooked sausage to the pot with the sautéed vegetables.
   • Stir in your preferred seasoning, along with the cans of diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and spicy clamato juice. Allow the mixture to come to a boil.

4. Simmer:

   • Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Let the soup simmer for approximately 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

5. Add Pasta and Beans:

   • After 30 minutes, add the frozen tortellini pasta and drained red kidney beans to the pot. Stir well to combine.
   • Continue simmering the soup, covered, for an additional 20 minutes, or until the tortellini is cooked through and tender.

6. Adjust Consistency and Seasoning:

   • If the soup becomes too thick during cooking, you can dilute it with water or additional chicken broth until reaching your desired consistency.
   • Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper according to your preferences.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once the soup is ready, ladle it into bowls and serve piping hot. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of grated cheese before serving.
