Ingredients:

Serving

1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped into small dice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp pepper, freshly ground
1/2 lb chicken breast , cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 lb italian sausage
2 medium carrots, diced
2 celery ribs, diced
6 cups chicken stock
1 (15 oz) can cannellini beans
4 sun-dried tomatoes, minced ( use the oil packed variety)
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp dried thyme
2 tsp kosher salt
8 oz orzo pasta
8 tbsp pesto sauce (optional)

Directions:

Defat the sausage- Place the sausages in a sauce pan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and let boil for 5 minutes. Drain, and when cool enough to handle, chop into small dice.
Add the oil to a large pot, and heat over a medium flame until the oil is warm and fragrant. Add the onion, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1-2 minutes.
Add the chicken and sausage, and continue to cook, until the chicken is no longer pink in the center.
Add the carrots, celery, stock, beans, tomatoes, bay leaf, thyme and remaining salt. Cover, and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 15 minutes.
Add the pasta, simmer another 8-10 minutes, until the pasta is al dente.
To serve, ladle into warm soup bowls, and top with a tablespoon of pesto (if using).
