Instructions
- Brown the Italian sausage in a large pot over medium heat until no longer pink.

Notes
For a spicier soup, substitute hot Italian sausage for mild.
To add freshness, incorporate herbs like basil or parsley before serving.
Avoid overcooking tortellini; they should remain al dente for optimal texture.
