Italian Sausage and Tortellini Soup
Ingredients
  • 1 pound Italian sausage
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 5 cups beef broth
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup dry red wine
  • 8 ounces fresh tortellini pasta
  • 1 cup sliced carrots
  • 2 cups stewed tomatoes
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 8 ounces tomato sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced zucchini
  • 2 green bell peppers, seeded and cubed
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
1
Begin by removing the casings from the sausage, then brown it in a pan until it reaches a crumbly state. Next, carefully lift the cooked sausage out of the pot and set it aside for later use. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the remaining drippings from the pot.
2
In the same pot, sauté the onion and garlic until they become tender and fragrant. Use these reserved drippings to add flavor to your dish.
3
Add 1 tablespoon of broth, 1 tablespoon of water, and 1 tablespoon of wine to the pot. Then, add the chopped carrots, canned tomatoes, fresh basil, dried oregano, tomato sauce, and the previously cooked sausage.
4
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
5
Add sliced zucchini, green peppers, chopped parsley, and the cooked tortellini to the pot. If using fresh tortellini, simmer for an additional 25 minutes with the lid on; if using frozen tortellini, increase the cooking time to 45 minutes with the lid on.
6
Finally, serve the dish hot, topped with a generous sprinkling of fresh parmesan cheese.
