A delicious homemade Italian soup made with sausage, minced veggies and cheese tortellini in a robust creamy tomato broth. Top with fresh grated parmesan cheese and serve with garlic bread.
Begin by melting butter and oil over medium heat in large dutch oven or pot. Add onions, carrots and celery and cook until tender. Sprinkle in minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
Add ground sausage to the veggies and cook until no longer pink. Pour in diced tomatoes and break up with spatula as they cook. Stir in the seasoning blend.
Stir in tomato sauce and chicken broth and bring to a low simmer. Stir in heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Simmer on low for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
Carefully add cheese tortellini and cook for a few minutes until they swell up. Watch carefully not to overcook the pasta.
Serve with extra parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes for a little spice. Enjoy!
