Yesterday it rained most of the day and it was cold, it was 50 during the day. I know some of you are laughing but for us Californians that is cold. Since the weather is chilly, I decided to make one of my husband’s favorite meals which is Tortellini Soup. This is an old recipe that I got from Bon Appétit years ago. I made some slight changes. It smells wonderful and everyone that has tried it loves it.

Tortellini Soup

4 14 ½ oz cans of beef broth
4 cups water
1 lb mild Italian sausage, cut into ½ inch pieces
10 oz fresh cheese tortellini pasta
10 oz fresh spinach tortellini pasta
½ lb cabbage, shredded
1 small green bell pepper, cored and diced
1 medium zucchini, sliced
1 small red onion, chopped
1 medium tomato, diced
1 crushed clove garlic
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Combine first 12 ingredients in large pot and season with salt and pepper. Bring to slow boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 15 min. Ladle soup into bowls. Serve immediately, passing grated Parmesan cheese. (Soup can be prepared 1 day ahead, covered and refrigerated)

Serve with garlic bread and a nice green salad. Delicious!!!

This makes a huge pot of soup. I have friends who have moved out of state call me because they couldn’t find the recipe and needed it. You will become quite famous when you serve this to family and friends. It will warm their hearts.

Keep those sparks flying!
