How To Make tortellini sausage soup

  • Step 1
    Remove the casings from the italian sausage. In a large pot cook the sausage over medium heat until it starts to brown using a wooden spoon to crumble as it cooks.
  • Step 2
    Add the chopped onion and garlic. Continue cooking until the onions are translucent and the sausage is cook through. Drain any excess grease if needed.
  • Step 3
    Stir in the chicken broth, apple cider, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, carrots, oregano and basil. Bring the soup to a simmer, cover and continue to simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Stir in zucchini and parsley and simmer for 10 - 12 minutes. Add the tortellini and cook until tender.(I only cook the tortellini for 4 - 5 minutes so it doesn't fall apart).
  • Step 5
    Serve immediately with fresh grated parmesan.
