Loaded with flavorful Italian sausage, vegetables, and cheese tortellini, this easy tortellini soup recipe is filling and comforting!

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.

2. In a large pot, cook the Italian sausage over medium-high heat for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the meat is no longer pink.

3. Drain the excess grease from the cooked sausage and transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to help soak up more of the grease.

4. Using the same pot (no need to clean out sausage remnants), add a little oil to the pan and cook the chopped onion over medium heat 6-7 minutes or until translucent.

5. Add the minced garlic and cook for one minute more.

6. Add the broth, stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, carrots, zucchini, bell pepper, basil, and oregano. Also add the sausage back to the pot and stir well. Break up the tomatoes with your fingers, if smaller pieces are desired.

7. Bring the soup to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, for about 30 minutes.
8. Add the tortellini and simmer another 30 minutes.

9. Serve with fresh grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
10. Enjoy!
