Hearty Italian Tortellini Soup
This may look like a soup but it is a meal! It may be hot outside but we still have to eat and we had no problem eating this for supper. Full of Italian Sausage, Tortellini, herbs and plenty of veggies is what gave this soup one amazing taste.

Ingredients
Remove the sausage from the casing
and place the sausage into a large
Dutch oven pan, discarding the casing.

up the sausage as it cooks and
until it is completely cooked.
Remove the sausage to a plate.
Leave the grease in the pan.
Add the carrots, garlic
and onions to the pan.

stirring frequently, until the onion is tender.
Add the cooked sausage and all of the rest
of the ingredients, except the tortellini,
to the pan. Bring to a boil then turn to a
simmer. Continue to simmer for
20 minutes with a lid.
Add the tortellini, stir and continue

I had a friend ask how could be do soup when it is so hot? I say a pot of soup, made on Sunday, means lots less cooking to heat up the kitchen during the week! Your posts always remind me of a post we wrote about kitchen tables…we all need to get back to them! https://littleblackdomicile.com/2018/03/07/the-kitchen-table-bring-it-back-please/

Exactly! Not just the table but having all of the family home at the same time to sit at the table. How times have changed. My grandkids think it is so cool to sit at our dining room table.
