Tortellini Soup

Source: Healthy Calendar Diabetic Cooking

This is one of my favorite healthy recipes. I found it online a few years ago. I tweeked it into what works for us. My kids will also eat this because of the tortelinni. This is great on a cold day!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup finely diced onion
1/2 T dried basil
1 can diced tomatoes
1 package three cheese tortellini
1 package Italian TURKEY sausage
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 T oregano
3 cans fat free chicken broth
1/2 tsp black pepper

Coat a large pot with cooking spray. Remove sausage from casings into pot; try to crumble this up as you cook. Add onion and cook over medium heat for 7 minutes or until sausage begins to brown. Add vinegar to deglaze the pan. Cook for 2 minutes or until vinegar has almost evaporated. Add basil and oregano and cook for 1 minute more. Add tomatoes and broth. Bring to boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add tortellini and pepper. Cook for another 10 minutes.
