In our home, autumn means leaves changing colors and falling to the ground, pumpkins everywhere, delicious soups and of course college football Saturdays. Though I'm more into the soups and falling leaves and pumpkins everywhere, my husband really enjoys watching college football AND eating while watching the games.

But unfortunately since he was recently diagnosed with heartburn and it's somewhat put a damper on his game day experience. Everyone knows that there's nothing like eating while watching football. I mean tailgating, or home gating as we love to do is pretty much synonymous with any kind of football.

Football and food go together like peas and carrots, mashed potatoes and gravy, cookies and milk. But since heartburn has entered my husband's life, we've added a third friend to the party! Nexium® 24HR Tablets! The perfect acid reducer to reduce frequent heartburn when taken properly (it's usually best to start taking them 1 to 4 days in advance) and help you get ready for tailgreatness!

Thanks to Nexium® 24HR, my husband has been able to get back to his regular College Football Saturday routine and enjoy a lot of his regular favorite game day meals again, and this Tortellini Soup is one of our favorites! It's so cheesy, filled with Italian sausage, tomatoes, onions, garlic... You know, all of those things that would regularly cause him heartburn and indigestion, but by using Nexium® 24HR as directed and taking it 1-4 days in advance for the full effect, he can now have all day AND all night protection from feeling icky. He's free to not only enjoy the game, but also some great food! If you're in the market for a super amazing soup (that everyone raves about) here's the recipe. This makes a big pot of it, it's perfect for tailgating and even more perfect for home gating when you throw that big football watch party and invite all your friends over!

 

 

GAME DAY TORTELLINI SOUP

 

 WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

 

1 package sweet Italian sausage, removed from casings

 

1 Tablespoons olive oil

 

2 medium chopped red onions

 

6 large to medium cups chopped carrots

 

3 Tablespoons chopped garlic

 

6 cups organic beef broth

 

1 29 oz. can petite diced tomatoes

 

1 29 oz. can regular diced tomatoes

 

1 29 oz. can tomato sauce

 

3 Tablespoons Organic Italian seasoning

 

8 Beef Bouillon Cubes

 

1 cup grated parmesan cheese

 

Salt, sugar, black pepper to taste

 

1 Package Refrigerated Three Cheese Tortellini

 

2 cups chopped fresh spinach

WHAT TO DO:

Pour a little olive oil on the bottom of a large stock pot and add the sweet Italian sausage. As they start to brown, cut them apart with a spatula or spoon. Cook until done. After sausage is done, drain sausage onto a plate lined with several layers of paper towels and remove any excess grease from the sausage by patting it with another paper towel. Add a little olive oil to the bottom of the stock pot again now that it is empty and add your chopped carrots and onions. Sauté for 10 minutes on medium to high heat and add your chopped garlic. Sauté another 5 minutes and then add in your beef broth, tomatoes, tomato sauce, parmesan cheese and seasonings. Stir soup gently until thoroughly mixed together and then bring to a boil. Once it's boiled for about 10 minutes, re-add your sausage back into the soup stock pot and lower heat. Next, add in your refrigerated three cheese tortellini and chopped fresh spinach and cook until tortellini is soft (usually between 8 to 10 minutes). After the tortellini is soft, remove soup from heat and serve! You can also throw a little extra parmesan cheese on top of the soup if you like more cheese but it doesn't even need it taste-wise. Enjoy!

So, you want to know a little more about Nexium® 24HR? I grabbed a box from over by the Pharmacy area (you'll find it in the heartburn/antacid aisle, not in the pharmacy just to clarify:) when I was in Walmart the other day, shopping for the ingredients to make my husbands favorite soup for College Football Saturday (yep, you guessed it, this tortellini Soup). Super easy to find and right in the heartburn/antacid aisle, you can't miss it.

Did you know that Nexium® 24HR is the #1 Choice of Doctors and Pharmacists* (*Among PCPs and Pharmacists who use a branded OTC PPI) for their own frequent heartburn? With Nexium® 24HR, you only need to take one pill a day (how awesome is that?) and it provides all day and all night protection to users with frequent heartburn. I purchased the 42 count box for my husband because it's his go-to heartburn and reflux treatment. If you've never heard of or tried Nexium® 24HR before and suffer from frequent heartburn, I encourage you to head to the Nexium® 24HR website or grab a package next time you spot them at Walmart. The product packaging contains detailed instructions about how to use Nexium® 24HR, and you can also visit here and here for more information about how to purchase Nexium 24HR and get some great savings.

What are your favorite game day meals and snacks? Chips and salsa? Chili? Bratwurst? As delicious as all of those things are, they also, as my husband well knows, cause indigestion and heartburn. But relief is only one purple pill away. With Nexium® 24HR, taken as directed, you'll be cheering on your favorite team with happy taste buds and an even happier tummy. What foods will you be able to enjoy again by using Nexium® 24HR?

May take 1 to 4 days for full effect. Use as directed.
