Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 16 ounces vegan sausage
  • 3/4 cup yellow onion chopped
  • 2 teaspoons garlic minced
  • 1 cup carrots sliced
  • 1 cup celery sliced
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 5 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 1 14.5-ounce can Italian seasoned diced tomatoes with liquid
  • 16 ounces plant-based fresh tortellini
  • 1 cup zucchini sliced into halves or quarters
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper seeded and diced
  • salt to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup Italian flat-leaf parsley chopped
  • vegan Parmesan cheese shredded, to taste

Instructions

  • Set a large pot over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, crumble in the sausage and cook for 5 minutes or until browned. Use a spatula to break up any large chunks of sausage.
  • Add the onions and saute for 2 minutes, until tender. Add the garlic and continue cooking for an additional 30 seconds.
  • Stir in the carrots, celery, ketchup, and Italian seasoning.
  • Pour in the vegetable broth, red wine, and diced tomatoes with their liquid, ketchup, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat. Simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • While the soup simmers, cook tortellini according to package directions for al dente consistency; drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
  • When the 30-minute simmer is done, stir in the zucchini and red bell pepper.
  • Cover and continue simmering for 10 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Remove the soup pot from the heat.
  • Stir in the cooked tortellini. Season to taste with salt and pepper, sprinkle with fresh parsley and Parmesan cheese. Serve hot.
