Italian Sausage Soup With Tortellini

My husband got this recipe from this little Italian lady where he goes to buy italian sausage. It is so tasty. The sodium is a bit high but if you use unsalted or low salt broth and tomato options it'll be much better. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.Submitted by: MOMTO5KDS
