Apple Cider and Tortellini Soup




Time is getting short.....list has been made, remade and checked twice....just a few last minute things to wrap up before it is time to put it all away and enjoy the labors of the season. Spent today at the mall, missed out on a few days and had to do some quick catch up. Then home for some of this delicious and SIMPLE Italian Tortellini Soup. Now curled up on the couch with my peeps enjoying some hot apple cider, fire, Christmas lights and great company......
Italian Tortellini Soup
4 uncooked Italian Sausage Links
(I used Sweet, but can use Mild or Hot depending on taste)
4 Cups water
2 cans (14 1/2 oz each) Italian Stewed Tomatoes
1 can condensed French Onion Soup (undiluted)
2 Cups Broccoli Coleslaw mix (found in the produce section of any grocery store...I found it easily at Super Wal-Mart)
1 Cup Frozen Cut Green Beans
1 (9 ounce) package of Buitoni three cheese tortellini (in the refrigerated section) or substitute any refrigerated or frozen tortellini (or other pasta of your choice)
Fresh grated parmesan cheese
Cut sausage into 1/2 to 3/4 inch pieces; brown in dutch oven. Drain, add water, tomatos, soup, coleslaw mix and beans. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer approx. 20 minutes (until veggies are tender). Uncover; add tortellini and cook for 4-5 minutes until tortellini is tender. Garnish with shredded parmesan cheese.
YUM!!
