  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pound Italian sausage casings removed
  • 3 carrots carrots sliced
  • 2 stalks celery sliced
  • 4 cups chicken broth low sodium
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree canned or fresh
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to taste

Method
 

Prepare the Soup Base
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and Italian sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the sliced carrots and celery, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and pumpkin puree, then add the thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
Cook the Tortellini
  1. Once the soup is simmering, add the tortellini and cook according to package instructions, usually about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Serve
  1. Once the tortellini is cooked, remove the pot from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  2. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
