Receta Vegetable Tortellini Soup
I just love soup. It is perfect on a cold day. It is perfect when you don't feel good. It is a perfect way to sneak in vegetables for your kids, and this one is loaded with veggies. My mom cooks this in a crock pot, which is a fabulous idea, though on the day I made this, I didn't. So just do whatever is easiest for you, but remember, to not add the pasta until you only have about 10 minutes of time left or the tortellini will be over done.
- 1 pound Italian Sausage
- 1 cup onion-chopped
- 2 garlic cloves- minced
- 1 cup carrots-diced
- 1 cup zucchini-diced
- 1 green pepper- chopped
- 3 13 oz cans beef broth
- 1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
- 1 28 oz can whole tomatoes
- 1 15 oz can tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup dry red wine (optional)
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon parsley flakes
Brown sausage. Set aside and cook saute onions and garlic, until translucent. Then add broth, red wine, tomatoes, carrots, and spices. I used a potato masher and mashed the whole tomatoes a little bit. Stir and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and let simmer for about 30 minutes. Then add pepper and zucchini. Cover and let simmer for another 20 minutes. Add tortellini for the last 10 minutes of simmering. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
