- How To Make Sausage Tortellini Soup
- Step 1: Brown the Italian Sausage in a Dutch Oven or stockpot over medium-high heat. When it is almost fully browned add the onion and cook until the sausage is done browning and the onion has softened.
- Step 2: Turn the heat to low and add the garlic, basil, oregano, parsley, thyme and crushed red pepper; cook for 1 minute stirring constantly.
- Step 3: In a small bowl whisk the tomato paste with about 1/2 cup beef broth. Add the vegetable broth, remaining beef broth, fire roasted tomatoes and thinned out tomato paste. Increase the heat to medium and bring to a low boil. Then reduce the heat to a simmer and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
- Step 4: Add the cheese tortellini and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the tortellinis are cooked to your desired tenderness.
- Step 5: Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the arugula. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle each bowl with 1-2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
