Italian Tortellini Soup

Try this delicious, hearty soup on a cold day.  It's one of my favorites.  You'll need:

1 lb. hamburger, cooked 

5 cups beef broth

1 Tbsp red cooking wine (optional)

1 can petite, diced tomatoes, 14.5 oz (don't drain)

1 can tomato sauce, 8 oz 

3 carrots, sliced thin

1 onion, chopped (cook with the hamburger)

1 tsp. oregano flakes

1 tsp basil flakes

3 cloves garlic (medium size, minced)

1 can cut green beans, 14.5 oz

1 package (9oz) fresh cheese Berolli tortellini

Add everything in a crock pot except the beans and pasta.  Cook on low for 4-6 hours.  30 minutes before serving, add pasta and beans (drain off can liquid), Can garnish with a little grated fresh Parmesan.
