Ingredients

1 lb sweet Italian sausage

1 cup chopped onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

5 cups beef broth

4 large tomatoes

1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce

1 cup thinly sliced carrots

0.5 cup water

0.5 cup red wine

0.5 tbsp fresh basil leaves

0.5 tsp dried oregano

1.5 cups sliced zucchini

3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

8 oz fresh tortellini pasta

Directions

Cook sausage in a 5-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly, 8 to 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer sausage to a plate; set aside. Drain grease, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings in the pot.

Sauté onions and garlic in the drippings over medium heat until onions are translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Stir in beef broth, tomatoes, tomato sauce, carrots, water, wine, basil, oregano, and cooked sausage. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat; simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.

Skim fat from the soup. Stir in zucchini and parsley; continue to simmer covered for an additional 30 minutes.

Add tortellini during the final 10 minutes of cooking.

Serve hot and enjoy!
