As a busy housewife, I am always looking for easy and delicious recipes that I can make for my family. This tortellini soup is one of my favorites because it is both hearty and flavorful, and it is also very simple to make.
I love that this soup is so versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. For example, if you don't have any zucchini or green peppers on hand, you can simply leave them out. You can also add other vegetables to the soup, such as diced potatoes or corn.
This soup is also a great way to use up leftover sausage. If you have some cooked sausage in the refrigerator, you can simply add it to the soup.
I like to serve this soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers. It is also delicious topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
no matter how you serve it, this tortellini soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
Step-by-step
- Remove the casings from the sausage and brown the sausage in a pan over medium heat until it is crumbly.
- Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.
- Add the onion and garlic to the pan and cook until they are softened.
- Add the broth, water, wine (if using), carrots, tomatoes, basil, oregano, tomato sauce, and the cooked sausage to the pan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
- Add the zucchini, green peppers, parsley, and tortellini to the pan.
- Simmer for another 25 minutes, covered, for fresh tortellini, or 45 minutes, covered, for frozen tortellini.
- Serve the soup hot with fresh Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.
