My new favorite Soup!

My favorite thing about Fall is making and eating soup!!! I love a good soup with rolls, and I have a new favorite! My sister in law made this and I loved it! It's out of my new favorite cookbook-Favorites (done by a family here in Utah). This soup is full of so much flavor-it's an italian soup. Make it and ENJOY-You won't regret it!

Tortellini Soup

1 lb ground mild italian sausage

1 onion chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup water

2 (13 oz) cans beef broth

1/2 cup apple juice

3 carrots, sliced

1 zucchini, sliced

1 (28oz) can crushed tomatoes

1 tsp basil

1 tsp oregano

2 tablespoons dried parsley

8 oz cheese tortellini ( I like the ones in the refrigerated section)

In large soup pan, brown sausage. Drain fat and add onion and garlic and cook til tender. Add water, broth, apple juice, carrots, tomatoes, basil, oregano, zucchini, and parsley. Simmer for 30 min or longer. Add tortellini 10 min. before serving and cook til tender, but not soggy.

ENJOY!
