Sausage Tortellini Soup

This easy sausage, tortellini soup is the perfect thing to keep you full and warm this winter.

I love making this on cold fall and winter nights for my family. They absolutely love it.

And I love making it, too. There’s just something about having a nice big pot of soup on the stove that feels nostalgic to me.

This tortellini soup is super hearty and can be served as a meal all on its own.

All you need is maybe a nice slice of Italian or French bread for dunking, and you are all set.

This is really one of those stick to your ribs recipes that keep you full for hours.

There’s really nothing better than a nice big bowl of soup to warm you up when it’s cold outside.

I’ve been making this recipe for years and everybody loves it when I do.

I hope you give this recipe a try. I know that if you do, you’ll love it just as much as my family and I do.

What kind of sausage should I use?

I like to make this soup using sweet Italian sausage just because I usually share this with my family and friends.

Not everyone likes spicy food so I play it safe by using the sweet sausage.

If you’d like to spice it up, definitely use the hot Italian sausage.

Any brand will do. Just be sure not to make a mistake and use breakfast sausage because that is not what we want for this one.

What can I serve this sausage tortellini soup with?

I like to think of this tortellini soup as a meal all on its own.

If you’d like to serve this with something, I’d suggest a nice fresh side salad and maybe some crusty garlic bread or pesto and mozzarella bomb rolls.

Can I make this vegetarian friendly?

You can absolutely make this soup vegetarian friendly by making just a couple small changes.

First, you can leave the Italian sausage out completely. No need to substitute it with anything.

The soup is still delicious without it.

Also, choose vegetable broth instead of chicken broth for this recipe.

By making just those two small adjustments this tortellini soup is now perfect for the vegetarians in your life to enjoy, too!

Sausage tortellini soup ingredients

• Olive oil
• Onion, chopped
• Sweet Italian sausage (out of its casing)
• Chopped garlic
• Vegetable or chicken broth
• Crushed tomatoes
• Fresh spinach
• Heavy cream
• Parmesan cheese
• Cheese tortellini
• Salt, pepper, garlic powder & Italian seasoning

Instructions

First, in a large stock pot, sauté the onion in a little bit of olive oil and lightly season it with salt and pepper. Then, add the sausage and break it into small pieces using a wooden spoon. Just before the sausage is browned completely, stir in the chopped garlic.

Now add the vegetable broth and crushed tomatoes. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder and Italian seasoning and stir it all together.

Next add the spinach in in bunches. Stir it until the spinach is wilted.

After that, add the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Stir everything together and let the soup cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes.

Finally, add in the cheese tortellini. Once the tortellini are plum and have floated to the surface the soup is done.

Taste, and re-season it if needed. Let it cool slightly and enjoy!
