Saute bacon, sausage, and onion over medium-high heat until onions are soft, about 3 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add garlic, celery and carrots and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add tomatoes, chicken stock, red wine, Italian seasoning & smoked paprika and cook for 15 minutes.

Add leek and parsley to soup and continue to cook for another 5 minutes.

Add cooked tortellini and season to taste with salt and fresh ground pepper.

I actually checked out a number of Tortellini Soup recipes from this site and some others and then added some of this and some of that as I was looking for lots of ingredients to put in this hearty winter soup. It turned out awesome and I will be keeping this one for sure.
