Tortellini Sausage Soup

by OurBestBites.com


3 links Italian sausage, casings removed
4 cloves pressed garlic
1 onion, diced
½ c. water
2 cans chicken broth
½ c. apple cider
1 16-oz. can diced tomatoes
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
1 c. sliced carrots
1 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. dried oregano
2 medium zucchini, grated (great way to use your food processor if you have one)
8-10 oz. package cheese tortellini
2 Tbsp. dried parsley 
Cook sausage over medium heat, stirring frequently. If sausage is pretty fatty, drain it when it's about halfway cooked. 
Add onions and garlic to sausage. Continue cooking until onions are translucent and sausage is cooked. 
Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, juice, water, chicken broth, carrots, oregano, and basil. Cover and simmer for 1/2 hour. Add parsley and zucchini and simmer for another 15 minutes. 
Add the tortellini and cook until tender, then serve with bread and freshly grated Parmesan.
