Sausage & Tortellini Soup image

I wanted to make some soup on a cold day, but was tired of plain tomato or vegetable soup. So I played around with a few ingredients and came up with this. Hope you like it. I know I do. Oh and feel free to use some diced onion instead of the minced, but my dh can't handle fresh onion so i have to use the other. Sometimes i'll throw in some chopped cabbage too.

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb reduced-fat sausage
1 (32 ounce) box low-fat chicken broth or 1 (32 ounce) box low sodium chicken broth
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green pepper celery and onion
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup sliced button mushroom
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced onion
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
1 teaspoon ground pepper
1 (10 ounce) package cheese tortellini

Steps:

  • In a large pot, brown the sausage over medium-high heat with minced garlic and minced onion.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to get up all the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Add in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, pepper, and mushrooms.
  • Reduce heat to low/medium low and let simmer for at least 30 minutes, but the longer you let it cook, the better flavor it will have.
  • Add the tortellini and let cook through, about 10 minutes (I use frozen tortellini so it takes longer, but would be shorter if you use fresh or refrigerated).
  • Serve and enjoy.
