Sausage Tortellini Soup

After spending 4 hours in a freezing house (we had all the windows open to get rid of the fish smell from Wednesday's dinner; read my post about it here), I was really needing some soup to warm me up. If you like spaghetti sauce, then you'll like this soup. It's flavorful and filling!

1 14.5-oz. can French-style green beans, drained
1 28-oz. can crushed tomatoes (Chunky Italian is best; if you can't find this, then use regular, but add 1 tsp. Italian seasoning to soup)
1 10-oz. can French Onion soup
3 cups water
1 16-oz. pkg. smoked turkey sausage, cut into half-moon slices (I used light Kielbasa)
1 20-oz. package refrigerated cheese tortellini (or 2 cups frozen)
Parmesan cheese, for topping

In a large pot, mix drained green beans, tomatoes, soup, and water. Bring to a simmer. While simmering, brown sliced sausage lightly in a fry pan and then add to simmering soup. Turn heat to low; cover pot and let simmer for 2-4 hours (you could also put it in a slow-cooker rather than a pot on the stove). Add tortellini approximately 1/2 hour before serving. Serve with Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top of individual servings.
