ITALIAN SAUSAGE SOUP WITH CHEESE TORTELLINI

Feast or Famine. Half the year my husband is really busy with work and gone a lot and the other half he has a lot more leisure time to spend with us. Thank goodness because I was pretty fried there for a while. It takes about a week for us all to adjust to him being home more. It’s not that I don’t love my husband but I have my own schedule of things that I do everyday and it’s just a matter of saying, “Hey, are you coming with me to the gym? Whatcha doing today?” He’s been helping me a ton with the kids and we have been working out together which is why I can barely move today. But the one thing about having him home more is that I am cooking a LOT more than normal. Is that even possible?

Here’s a super hearty soup filled with sausage, cheese filled tortellini, and a ton of veggies. I know you probably all think I’m obsessed with sausage but my husband just happens to love it. I would be interested to see what it would taste like with chicken.

SHORT ON TIME?

I often use the prechopped veggies in the produce section when I know I don’t have time to dice and chop all my veggies. For this soup I used prediced carrots and onion.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Italian sausage, (I usually use Jimmy Dean bulk sausage so I don't have to deal with removing the casing)
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 6 cups beef broth
  • 2 (14.5 ounce cans) Italian diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (8 ounce can) tomato sauce
  • 1 cup thinly sliced or diced carrots
  • 1/2 tablespoon packed fresh basil leaves, (or 3/4 teaspoon dried basil)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, (or 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh oregano)
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed, (or sliced zucchini)
  • 8 ounces fresh cheese tortellini pasta, (can be found by the cheese...I used Buitoni)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, (or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried parsley)

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, brown sausage and onions. Drain. Add the garlic and sautee for 30 seconds.
  • Stir in beef broth, tomatoes, tomato sauce, carrots, basil, and oregano. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes.
  • Stir in beans, tortellini, and parsley. Bring to a boil and cook for 10-12 minutes or until beans and tortellini are tender. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese on top of each serving. Serve with warm garlic bread.
  • *Just be aware that if you save this soup for leftovers the pasta tends to drink up the broth so the result is a really thick soup if you eat it the next day.
