How to Make Bobs Italian Sausage Tortellini Soup

  1. Brown 1 lb Italian sausage in a large pot over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Remove sausage and set aside.
  2. Add 1 large onion (chopped), 4 cloves garlic (minced), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), and 1 cup chopped carrots to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in 4 cups beef broth, 2 cups water, and 1/2 cup dry red wine.
  4. Add 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1 tsp dried basil, 1 tsp dried oregano, and 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce.
  5. Return the browned sausage to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, skimming off any fat that rises to the surface.
  6. Add 2 medium zucchini (chopped), 2 medium yellow squash (chopped), and 2 (9 ounce) packages cheese tortellini. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the tortellini are cooked through.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot and enjoy!
