Make this comforting Sausage Tortellini Soup on the stovetop. This recipe delivers a rich, creamy broth, savory Italian sausage, and tender cheese tortellini in under 40 minutes, making it a perfect quick family dinner.

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 (16 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 5 ounces fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 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 excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes (with juice), Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Add the refrigerated tortellini to the simmering broth. Cook according to package directions, usually about 5 to 7 minutes, until the tortellini float and are tender.
  6. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts into the soup, which takes about 2 minutes.
  7. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until the cheese melts and the broth becomes creamy. Do not let the soup boil after adding the cream.
  8. Serve this hearty soup immediately.

Notes

  • For a slow cooker version, brown the sausage and sauté the onion and garlic separately. Transfer everything except the tortellini, spinach, and cream to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours. Add the tortellini during the last 30 minutes of cooking, then stir in the spinach and cream before serving.
  • If you prefer a different vegetable, substitute kale for spinach, adding it when you add the tortellini so it has enough time to soften.
  • Use mild or hot Italian sausage based on your preference for spice level in this sausage tortellini soup recipe.
