Micki McNish of Charlotte, formerly of Atlanta, sent in this tasty recipe, perfect for cooler weather. Micki uses hot sausage, but if your family likes things less spicy, switch to mild. Make sure to use reduced- or low-sodium broth so the soup isn't too salty.

Hands on time: Total time: 30 minutes Serves: 4
Ingredients:
-
3/4 pound hot Italian sausage, casing removed, crumbled
5 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes with Italian herbs, undrained
1 1/3 cups (about 4 ounces) dried cheese tortellini
1 cup zucchini, quartered and sliced
Instructions:
In a stockpot over medium heat, cook sausage, breaking pieces up with a spatula. If necessary, drain fat and return sausage to the pan. Add broth and tomatoes with juice and bring to a boil, scraping up any bits that might have stuck to the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes. Return to a boil and stir in pasta. Cook for 8 minutes or until pasta is almost tender. Add more broth if needed. Stir in zucchini and simmer until zucchini and pasta are just tender, about 2 to 3 minutes.
