Tortellini and Sausage Soup

It's time to eat healthy again! After all the rich food and drink of the past 6 weeks, I am ready to eat like a rabbit. This is a great quick soup that is low in fat too. Perfect with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

8oz turkey or vegetarian sausage
9 oz refrigerated cheese tortellini
28 oz crushed tomatoes
14 oz diced tomatoes
2 medium zucchinis chopped
1 small onion chopped
1 red pepper chopped
4 beef bouillon cubes dissolved in 4 cups water

Microwave sausage and crumble. In a large soup pot, melt 1 Tbsp butter and 1 Tbsp olive oil. Add zucchini, onion, and pepper. Saute until tender. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
