Quick and Easy Tortellini Soup

Image
I saw this adorable Nessie soup ladle on Pinterest when it was making the rounds a while back and knew I just had to order one.   It was on back order at the time I ordered it and was told it would be months before it would be back in stock but then I was surprised when it arrived after only a two week wait. It appears they have plenty in stock now.  I really love how cute and adorable this soup ladle is.  Here is a handy link if you are interested in purchasing one for yourself or for a cute gift.  They also have one in a pretty green shown below that was not available when I ordered mine.  Okay, so now on with the recipe for this delicious tortellini soup with sausage.   I usually substitute Italian chicken sausage  to make it healthier.  I also toss in some more spinach.  This one of those great hearty soup recipes that you can really add whatever you personal preferences are.  I love how quick and easy this is to throw together but yet it tastes like you worked all day.  Super yum!

Homemade Turkey Breakfast Sausage

Image
Making breakfast sausage at home is very easy to do.  Once I made these I will never go back to buying it at the store.  Plus it is healthier than the store bought kind without any preservatives and less greasy than the pork sausage.   These are also low carb and a good source of protein.  These can be made up ahead of time and then frozen to be ready to cook in a hurry.  Mix ground turkey, sage, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and marjoram together into a bowl. With your hands mix ingredients together and form into patties.   Cook patties in a large skillet over medium high heat until no longer pink in the middle.
