| Directions | Fry sausage, breaking in to small pieces. Meanwhile, cook onion and garlic in oil in dutch oven until tender, about 6 minutes. Add broth, picante sauce, stewed tomatoes and basil bring to boil. Stir in tortellini. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, stir in green pepper and sausage, and continue to simmer 3-4 minutes or until tortellini is tender. Ladle into soup bowls and sprinkle with cheese. I usually double the recipe. |
