Tortellini Soup

Tortellini Soup

This is a recipe that I often change the ingredients and it always goes over well with company. Its easy and is great served with a fresh loaf of bread.

Ingredients:

19 oz frozen cheese tortellini
20 oz italian turkey sausage, casings removed
3 leeks, white and light green parts sliced
1 12 oz jar roasted red peppers, sliced
1 bunch basil, sliced into ribbons
3 cloves of garlic, minced
10 cups chicken broth
2 tbs basil oil

Directions:

1. Add oil to a large pot. Cook leeks until tender and translucent.
2. Add turkey sausage to the pot and cook over medium, breaking up the pieces as it cooks.
3. Once the turkey sausage is cooked, add in the roasted red peppers, chicken broth and garlic and bring to a boil.
4. Reduce to a simmer and add tortellini and cook for 5 minutes.
5. Add basil. Enjoy!
