Tortelline Soup

Start by browning 1/2 lb. of sweet Italian sausage, drain and set aside. In a large sauce pan, combine 2 - 14oz cans of beef stock, 3C water, 1/2 lb shredded cabbage, 1 medium zucchini, sliced, 1 small red onion chopped, 1 medium tomato diced, 1T fresh basil. Bring to a slow simmer and add 9 oz. tortellini; we like non-meat ones like cheese or mushroom. Simmer for 15 min. Serve topped with grated parmesan cheese.
