This Italian Sausage and Tortellini soup is a wonderfully filling soup that is a complete meal in one dish. Beautiful, Easy and Delicious.
Perfect with some rustic garlic french bread. Everyone I serve it to makes a point to tell me what great soup it is.
I like to use hot Italian sausage, Italian diced tomatoes (with garlic, oregano, and basil), and rainbow colored 5-cheese tortellini. Very colorful and delicious soup.
