Notes
NOTE: if using dried tortellini, you will need to cook it separately because it will absorb too much liquid. Fresh is best!
Ingredient Substitution Notes
- Italian sausage. I buy the ground sausage (not in casings) because it's easier to put in a pan and cook. We use mild, but choose the level of heat your family enjoys.
- Vegetables (carrots & celery). You can use your favorite veggies, either substitute these or add more like bell peppers, zucchini, spinach, etc.
- Chicken broth. Vegetable broth works well, but we prefer the flavor of chicken broth.
- Diced tomatoes. crushed or fire-roasted diced tomatoes work well.
- Kidney beans. use your favorite beans like great northern or chickpeas.
- Tortellini: I suggest using fresh or frozen tortellini. If you choose dried tortellini, you will have to cook it separately then add it to the soup.
