Tortellini Soup

Here is a fantastic soup recipe from Heather Boden:

Tortellini Soup

1 lb. mild italian sausage

3 sliced zucchini

1 chopped onion

1 jar sliced mushrooms

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tsp. oregano

3 C. chicken broth

3C. water

1 jar ragu

1 can sliced/diced tomatoes

1 small can tomato paste

1 lb. tortellini

freshly grated parmesan cheese

1. Saute onion and garlic. 

2. Add italian sausage, cook until no longer pink then add all ingredients except tortellini and parmesan.

3. Bring all ingredients to a boil, then add tortellini.

4. Cook until tortellini is tender (approx. 10 minutes).

5. Serve hot with crusty bread and top with fresh parmesan. 

*This recipe gets thicker with time so you want to eat it up.  If you don't, add a little chicken broth to thin it out when heating.
