I do not make soups very often, but if I do, this sausage tortellini is definitely my go-to recipe! The family (including the kids) loves it and it is so simple to make!

Ingredients

• 1 lb Italian lean sausage mild or spicy (no casings)
• 1 onion finely diced
• 1 rib celery finely chopped
• 1 ½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups low sodium beef broth
• 1 798 ml can diced tomatoes (28oz)
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 1 cup water
• 250 grams fresh cheese tortellini about 3 cups

Instructions

• Add Italian sausage to a large soup pot and cook over medium-high heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.

• Add Italian seasoning, garlic and salt and cook 1 minute.
