Tuscan Tortellini Soup

      The. Best. Soup. Ever.

 

 

If you like lasagna then you will love this soup...and even if you don't like lasagna you will probably still love it.

 

 

This soup is worth rushing home after co-op to take pictures of in the 30-degree weather before the sun sets all the way. Because, in the battle of taking food pictures for the blog, day light savings usually wins.

 

 

But today I won.

 

 

  Deliciousness, anyone?

 

 Recipe:

This soup serves 8

 

1 Tbsp. olive oil

20oz. Italian sausage, casings removed

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 onion, diced

4c. chicken broth

2  28oz. cans crushed tomatoes

1 tsp. Italian seasoning

salt and pepper to taste

1/2c. heavy cream

20oz. mixed cheese tortellini

1c. freshly grated parmesan

 

1. Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add Italian sausage to the skillet and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the sausage as it cooks; drain excess fat. Stir in garlic and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes.

2. Whisk in chicken broth, crushed tomatoes, and Italian seasoning; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil and stir in tortellini; reduce heat and simmer until tortellini is cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.

3. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan until well combined and heated through.
