SAUSAGE TORTELLINI SOUP

Sausage Tortellini Soup image

Always searching for new and different soup recipes, I came across a similar one in an old church cookbook and changed a few ingredients to suit my family's tastes. Now it's one of our favorites and I always get requests for the recipe. -Heather Persch, Hudsonville, Michigan

Ingredients

1 pound bulk Italian sausage
2 cups water
2 cups chopped cabbage
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) Italian stewed tomatoes, undrained and cut up
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) beef broth
1 can (10-1/2 ounces) condensed French onion soup
1 package (9 ounces) refrigerated cheese tortellini
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

In a large saucepan, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in the water, cabbage, tomatoes, broth and soup. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 8 minutes. Stir in tortellini; cook 7-9 minutes longer or until pasta is tender. Sprinkle with cheese. Freeze option: Before adding cheese, freeze cooled soup in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally and adding a little broth, water or milk if necessary. Serve with cheese.
