The flavor of this Italian Sausage and Tortellini Soup is just incredible, and anyone that tries it falls immediately in love with it! Very easy to make, and smells so good while simmering, too.
Great served with green salad and crusty bread, for dipping, of course!
Sometimes I can find bulk Italian sausage which makes life a little easier but removing sausage casings is not that hard.
If you like soup you should definitely give this one a go!
