• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 1/8 cup olive oil (2 tbsp)

• 1 can pinto beans (15 oz)
• 1 can diced tomatoes (15 oz)
• 1 cup desired salsa
• 1 small can (6 oz.) tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

Method

In a large kettle, saute the onions, chunks of brats and celery in the olive oil until onions start turning lightly brown on the edges. Add garlic and simmer 1 more minute. Add the carton of chicken stock, beans, tomatoes, salsa, tomato paste, & Italian seasoning and simmer for 1 hour. Serve with crusty Italian bread.

Notes: You can leave out the brats to make it vegetarian. Instead of plain diced tomatoes, you can add a can of flavored diced tomatoes, such as basil/garlic or other flavor you might have in the pantry.
