1 lb Italian sausage, casings removed
1 cup chopped onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
8 cups beef broth
2 cups chopped tomatoes (I use canned diced tomatoes)
1 (15 oz) can tomato sauce
1 large zucchini, chopped or sliced
1 large carrot, sliced
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 Tbsp dried basil
1 Tbsp dried oregano
10 oz cheese tortellini
Salt and pepper
Fresh grated parmesan cheese
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan combine onions, garlic, and Italian sausage until sausage is no longer pink and onions and garlic are translucent. Drain grease.
2. Put meat mixture into a stock pot and add beef broth, tomatoes, tomato sauce, zucchini, carrot, bell pepper, basil, and oregano.
3. Simmer until vegetables are tender, 40-60 minutes.
4. Add tortellini and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. (Tortellini usually comes in 20 oz packages and I usually just put it all in.)
5. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
6. Sprinkle parmesan cheese onto individual bowls of soup before eating.
I made this soup this weekend. It's definitely one of my all time favorite soups. I served it with the Pioneer Woman's "The Bread." (Oh-so tasty and oh-so good for you:)) Perfect for a nice fall day!
