Italian Sausage Tortellini Soup
Ingredients
  • 1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 5 cups beef broth
  • 4 large tomatoes - peeled, seeded and chopped
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 cup thinly sliced carrots
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 1/2 tablespoon packed fresh basil leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced zucchini
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 8 ounces fresh tortellini pasta
Instructions
1
Cook sausage in a 5-quart Dutch oven over high heat until it reaches a nicely browned and crumbly state, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Utilize a slotted spoon to relocate the sausage to a paper towel-lined plate, allowing excess grease to drain off. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the remaining drippings in the pot for future use.
2
Next, sauté sliced onions and minced garlic in the reserved drippings over a moderate heat setting until they become translucent, taking around 3 to 4 minutes.
3
Subsequently, add beef broth, canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, sliced carrots, water, red wine, dried basil, and oregano to the pot. Stir everything together before bringing it to a boil.
4
Once boiling, decrease the heat and let the mixture simmer without covering the pot for 30 minutes. During this time, allow any excess fat to rise to the surface and skim it off.
5
Stir in grated zucchini and chopped parsley, then continue to simmer the soup covered for an additional 30 minutes.
6
Add cooked tortellini to the pot during its final 10 minutes of cooking. Serve the soup hot and indulge in its flavors!
