Tortellini, an Italian pasta similar to small dumplings with various fillings, can be used to make not only a delicious main course but also a hearty soup with an interesting combination of flavors and textures. Combine sautéed Italian sausage, canned white beans, vegetables (including tomatoes in their own juice), and tortellini in a single pan. Pour in some broth, and in a few minutes, you'll have a unique soup. Serve with a dollop of pesto, adding a bright accent that perfectly complements the tomato flavor of the soup. This soup can be made daily, varying its flavor with different tortellini fillings.
