Tortellini Soup

Love this soup!


TORTELLINI SOUP

1 lb Ground Italian Sausage
1/2 C Onion
3 Cloves crushed Garlic
1 Zucchini - chopped (I do semicircles)
1/2 C mushrooms - chopped
2 yellow squash - chopped (semicircles again)
2 cans Chicken broth
2 cans Italian stewed tomatoes
1 C Water (I just kind of eyeball the amount of water that the soup seems to need)
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
8 oz. cheese tortellini

Brown sausage, drain and set aside. In a pot add garlic, onion, and veggies with oil. Saute it for 5 minutes then add rest of ingredients except sausage and tortellini. Bring to boil, add sausage, cover and simmer 15 minutes. Add tortellini, simmer uncovered 20 minutes or until tortellini are done. Serve
topped with Parmesan cheese.

This recipe can be healthified by using turkey sausage and whole grain tortellini. I usually just buy the refrigerated tortellini and they have those in whole grain as well.
