Tortellini Sausage Soup

Ingredients:

1 lb italian sausage
2 sliced garlic cloves
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 1/2 cups zucchini, chopped
1 cup coarsely chopped onion
1 cup thinly sliced carrots
8 oz. tortellini (I like 3 cheese tortellini)
3 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
5 cups beef broth (about 3 cans)
1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
1 (28 oz) can peeled tomatoes

Brown sausage and remove from pot. Saute onion and garlic in drippings. Add broth, water, tomatoes, carrots, basil, oregano, sauce and sausage. Bring to boil. Reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 30 minutes. Skim fat if you like, add zucchini, tortellini and parsley. Simmer, covered 35 to 40 minutes more. Serve Hot & Enjoy!

Parmesan bread sticks are really great with this soup. I make them using my roll/white bread recipe and shape them into bread sticks instead. A little butter, a lot of Parmesan cheese melted on top---Yummy!
