Italian Tortellini Soup



Have you ever found a soup that your kids just gobble right up? Well, in our family this is that soup!

It is comforting, delicious, and simple to make - exactly what I love.


Ingredients:

1 pound italian sausage
1 medium onion - chopped
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp oregano
2 carrots - sliced
1 medium zucchini - halved and sliced
3 cups water
2 cans tomato soup
8 oz. tortellini



Brown sausage and onions in a large pot - I like to use my enameled cast iron dutch oven, it's the perfect size.





Throw in all the remaining ingredients - except the tortellini.

That would be the veggies, seasonings, water, and tomato soup.




Bring it to a boil and reduce the temperature. Allow it to simmer for 15 minutes. Then throw in the tortellini and boil for 10-12 more minutes or until the tortellini is soft.

You can cover this and keep it on a simmer for a longer amount of time. Just remember, DO NOT add the tortellini until the final 10 minutes or else you will have a soggy, gross mess.

This is seriously some good eats - especially if you serve it with some Rosemary Bread....
...Mmm.

Enjoy!
