This Is Just A Delicious Soup, I Love to Eat This When It's Cold Outside with Some Warm Crusty French Bread!!! Note: I Also Enjoy This with A Nice Rosemary and Olive Oil Bread :) This is Not My Recipe - The Credits Go to 'Better Homes and Gardens Magazine' ?

How To Make italian sausage and tortellini soup

Step 1

Saute the Italian sausage in heavy Dutch oven or your favorite soup pot over medium-high heat until cooked through, crumbling with back of spoon, about 10 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer sausage to large bowl. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon drippings from Dutch oven or pot.

Step 2

Add onion and garlic to Dutch oven and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Return sausage to Dutch oven or pot.
Step 3

Add stock, tomatoes, tomato sauce, zucchini, carrot, bell pepper, wine, basil and oregano. Simmer until vegetables are tender, about 40 minutes. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.
Step 4

Bring to simmer before continuing.) Add tortellini to soup and cook until tender, about 8 minutes. Season soup to taste with sea salt and cracked pepper. Ladle soup into bowls. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve.
