Tortellini Soup with Sausage

• 1 lb (.5 kg). Italian sweet sausage
• 1 medium tomato, diced
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 carrots, peeled and sliced (I like making larger pieces)
• 1 zucchini, sliced in larger pieces - about 1 inch thick
• 2 10-3/4 oz (301 grm). cans condensed tomato soup (see note below)
• 3 cups (700 ml) water
• 2 cups (475 ml) cheese tortellini
• 1/2 tsp (2 ml) dried basil
• 1/3 tsp (2 ml) dried oregano

1. Remove sausage from casing, crumble and cook like ground beef.
2. Drain.
3. Mix cooked sausage with remaining ingredients in large saucepan.
4. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer 45-60 minutes.
5. You might not need all this time.
6. Keep checking the tortellini, you don t want it to be mushy.
7. **This recipe originally called for 1 can of zesty tomato soup and 1 can of reg tom soup.
8. I could not find the zesty so I use the 2 regular and add some Bermuda Hot Pepper Sauce.
