Ingredients
-
1 lb reduced-fat sausage
-
1 (32 ounce) box low-fat chicken broth or 1 (32 ounce) box low sodium chicken broth
-
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
-
1 tablespoon minced garlic
-
1 tablespoon minced onion
-
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
-
1 teaspoon ground pepper
-
1 (10 ounce) package cheese tortellini
-
1 cup sliced button mushroom
-
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green pepper celery and onion
Instructions
- In a large pot, brown the sausage over medium-high heat with minced garlic and minced onion.
- Pour in the chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to get up all the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, pepper, and mushrooms.
- Reduce heat to low/medium low and let simmer for at least 30 minutes, but the longer you let it cook, the better flavor it will have.
- Add the tortellini and let cook through, about 10 minutes (I use frozen tortellini so it takes longer, but would be shorter if you use fresh or refrigerated).
- Serve and enjoy.
