How to Make Kate's Spicy Sausage Tortellini Soup

  1. Steam 1 lb Italian sausage for 15 minutes to reduce fat content.
  2. Let the sausage cool completely, then slice into bite-sized pieces. Remove casings if desired.
  3. Spray a large pot (6-quart or larger) with non-stick cooking spray.
  4. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pot and brown the sliced sausage lightly over medium heat.
  5. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside. Pour off any excess grease.
  6. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 2 celery stalks (chopped), 1 cup carrots (chopped), and 1 cup mushrooms (sliced) to the pot. Cook until softened but not browned (about 5-7 minutes). Return the sausage to the pot.
  7. Stir in 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock, and 1 (46 ounce) can Clamato juice. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat (optional).
  8. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.
  9. Add 1 (16 ounce) package frozen cheese tortellini and 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans (drained and rinsed).
  10. Simmer, covered, for an additional 20 minutes, or until the tortellini is cooked through.
  11. If the soup is too thick, add water or more broth to reach your desired consistency.
  12. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley or Parmesan cheese (optional).
