I love that this soup is easy to make and uses common ingredients found in the pantry. You can use other types of sausage or pasta if desired. —Annalise Lau, Newberg, Oregon

Ingredients

3 Italian turkey sausage links, casings removed
1 medium onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
6 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 jar (24 ounces) pasta sauce
1 can (15 ounces) crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1-1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Directions

In a Dutch oven, cook sausage and onion over medium heat until sausage is no longer pink and onion is tender, 5-7 minutes, breaking up sausage into crumbles; drain. Add the garlic and pepper flakes; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the broth, pasta sauce, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, vinegar, parsley flakes, sugar, oregano, salt and pepper; bring to a boil.
Add tortellini; cook, uncovered, until tortellini are tender, 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve immediately. If desired, top with cheese.
