Tortellini Soup

I made this the other night and it was a real crowd pleaser. Tasted great in this cold weather.

1 lb. mild Italian sausage
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 C water
2 cans beef broth (or 2 C water and 2 bouillon cubes.)
1/2 C apple juice
3 carrots (I just cut up several baby carrots.)
1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
1 C sliced zucchini
1/2 - 1 green pepper, chopped
4 T parsley, chopped
1 tsp basil
1 tsp oregano
8-oz. cheese tortellini
Fresh grated parmesan cheese

Brown sausage with onion and garlic. Add rest of ingredients except cheese and tortellini and simmer for at least 30 minutes. Add tortellini 5-10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle each bowl of soup with Parmesan cheese.
