Tortellini Soup

1 cup onion
2 cloves garlic

Sauté together. If you don’t use the sausage just brown the garlic and onion in a little butter on the stove.

In a large pot, add
5 C. beef broth to the onion mixture then add:
1 t. each: basil, oregano, and parsley
1 C. water
1- 15 oz. can tomato sauce
1- 28 oz. can diced tomatoes
1 c. sliced carrots

Simmer on the stove for about 45 min.

Then add:
2 zucchini (in quartered chunks)
1 pkg. cheese tortellini
1 sm. can sliced olives.

Simmer for a few more min until tender. Enjoy!
