Here is how you make Creamy Sausage Tortellini Soup:

* This makes about 16 ( 1 cup servings) Take the links of turkey sausage and squeeze the meat out of the casings into a large soup pot over medium heat and cooked until completely browned. While the turkey sausage is cooking, combine 1.5 cups water with 1/4 cup flour in a small bowl, whipping it until most of the lumps are gone. After sausage is browned , add 1 qt of lowfat half and half, 2 cups milk, reduced sodium broth, tortellini, frozen vegetables, and another cup of water. Allow to cook for 10 minutes and then add flour mixture and seasonings. Drop in 2 bouillon cubes, cheese, and sour cream. Stir well. Allow to cook up to another 30 minutes; foam will appear as it begins to boil; be sure to mix well. Remove from heat and allow time to cool before serving. * When I cook, I don't measure seasoning, and I often use a lot of different kinds. When I put in this recipe , I was trying to remember about how much I used, so the numbers are kind of an estimate. You can season it to your tastes.Number of Servings: 16Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user SPARKLES1382.
