Method

  1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, cook the sausage for about 10 minutes or until it is well browned.

  2. Remove most of the fat from the pot, leaving about 1 tablespoon behind. Then, add the onions and garlic to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

  3. Now, it's time to add the beef stock, water, wine, tomatoes, carrots, basil, oregano, and tomato sauce to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 30 minutes. Make sure to skim off any fat that rises to the surface.

  5. After the 30 minutes, add the zucchini, tortellini, green bell pepper, and parsley to taste. Cook for an additional 10 minutes or until the tortellini is fully cooked.

  6. Finally, transfer the soup into individual bowls and garnish with cheese.
