Ingredients

  • 1 pound Italian sausage (casings removed, if using links)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 5 ½ cups beef broth (Try it with Better Than Bouillon Beef Base! Combine 5 ½ tsp Better Than Bouillon Beef Base with 5 ½ cups of water.)
  • 8 ounces tomato sauce
  • 28 ounces stewed tomatoes
  • 1 bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 4-5 medium carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 large zucchini, quartered and sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 cups frozen or refrigerated cheese-filled tortellini (I use a 19-ounce bag of Great Value Cheese Tortellini)
  • Fresh parmesan cheese for serving, if desired

How to Make Easy Tortellini Soup

  1. Prepare your ingredients. Chop the onion, finely mince the garlic, peel and finely slice the carrots, chop the bell pepper, and quarter and slice the zucchini. Make the beef broth, if using Better Than Bouillon.

    We could live on soup. I find the final step of using some home baked bread to get the last bits of soup so enjoyable. Always great to increase our repertoire of recipes!
