Cooking Steps

• In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add Italian sausage and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it into pieces. Transfer the sausage to a plate and set aside. Drain any excess grease, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pan for flavor.
• Stir in onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and flour. Mix well to coat.
• Slowly pour in beef broth. Add the fire-roasted diced tomatoes, tomato puree, honey, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
• Pour in heavy cream (or coconut milk). Return the sausage (or add cooked chicken or beans) to the pot.
• Bring the soup to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
• Once boiling, add cheese tortellini. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 7-9 minutes, until tortellini are tender and floating.
• Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve hot with crusty garlic bread and a salad.
