Sausage and Tortellini Soup

This is a quick 20 minute soup, and what makes it so quick and easy to whip up is the addition of the store bought tortellini. You can find these in the deli section of virtually any grocery store. Sometimes people tend to turn their noses up at Chef’s who use store bought ingredients as opposed to making their own, but hey, we’re just as busy as everyone else and besides if I had started the recipe by saying we were going to begin by handmaking pasta would you even still be here. Nah, I didn’t think so.
