How To Make tortellini soup
-
Step 1If you use sausage that came in a casing, remove.
-
Step 2In a 5 quart dutch oven, brown the sausage. Remove the sausage, but keep about 1 tablespoon of the drippings in the dutch oven.
-
Step 3Saute the onions & garlic in the sausage drippings in the dutch oven until the onions are tender.
-
Step 4Add beef broth, water/wine, tomatoes, carrots, basil, oregano, tomato sauce & sausage. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes (savor the aroma!!)
-
Step 5Stir in zucchini, tortellini, parsley, & green pepper. Cover and simmer for an additional 35-40 minutes or until the tortellini are tender.
-
Step 6When serving, sprinkle with the grated parmesan cheese, if desired. (I skip this!) Serve with yummy warm crusty bread or bread sticks!
