Italian Sausage Tortellini Soup (from Cara)

This is a recipe passed along to me by my good friend Kris N.

Ingredients:
1 lb Italian Sausage, cut up into small peices (casings removed)
1 medium onion (chopped)
16 oz can of tomatoes, cut up, or 4 medium tomatoes
6 oz can of tomato sauce
5 cups of beef broth
1/2 cup (or more) of water
1/2 cup red wine
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp oregano
1 medium zucchini- chopped
3 - 4 carrots, sliced thin
8 - 12 oz fresh uncooked tortellini (refridg. case of the store) Frozen works OK too.

Steps:
In large stock pot, cook sausage with onion until cooked through.
Add remaining ingredients (except tortellini) and simmer for 30 minutes
Stir in tortellini and simmer 30 minutes more.
