You can make this hearty, creamy sausage tortellini soup on the stovetop in just 30 minutes. It is a simple, one-pot comfort food meal perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (9 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes (with their juice), Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Add the refrigerated tortellini to the simmering broth. Cook according to package directions, usually about 5 to 7 minutes, until the tortellini is tender.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream until the soup is creamy. Do not let the soup boil after adding the cream.
  6. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts into the soup.
  7. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Serve this easy tortellini soup recipe immediately.

Notes

  • For a heartier meal, add 2 cups of chopped kale along with the onion and cook until tender before adding the broth.
  • If you prefer a less rich soup, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
  • This recipe makes a great family friendly dinner idea that freezes well if you omit the cream before freezing.
