1 lb. ground beef
1 (28 oz.) can tomato puree
1 (10 1/2 oz.) can French onion soup
1 (9 oz.) pkg. cut frozen green beans
1 (9 oz.) pkg. fresh cheese tortellini
1 tsp. dried basil
1 med. sized zucchini, chopped

In 5-quart Dutch oven cook ground beef until well browned. Drain well to take off excess fat. Add the rest of ingredients along with 3 1/2 cups water. Bring to boil, then reduce heat.

Cover and cook until zucchini and tortellini are tender, stirring occasionally. Makes 4-6 servings. Serve with hot crusty bread or garlic bread.
