Notes
- Cook the sausage first. pressed for time? Use ground sausage!
- Use the sausage grease and butter to saute the carrots, celery, onion and garlic in. All the flavors marry happily in the pan, making your home smell like heaven!
- Use a food processor to chop the produce. This can be such a time saver! In this recipe, we want the produce to be chopped finely, so toss it in a blender to get the job done!
- Add the tortellinis last. They can and will get soggy if they are over cooked, so if you plan on letting this soup simmer for some time, add the tortellinis very last, about 3 minutes before taking it off the stove.
