Italian Sausage Tortellini Soup
Maybe the best part of cold weather (if I’m trying to find something good) is comfort food recipes like Italian Sausage Tortellini Soup.
I’m a summer girl at heart, getting through winter with cozy comfort food is the only thing that keeps me powering through.
You kinda can’t go wrong with sausage and pasta, am I right?!
How to Make Italian Sausage Tortellini Soup
Start by setting out all your ingredients…
And set a large soup pot over medium heat.
Add the ground Italian sausage and cook for 7 to 8 minutes, breaking it apart with your spatula as it cooks.
Then remove the cooked sausage and place the same soup pot over medium heat.
Add some olive oil, a diced, onion, a diced red pepper, and season with kosher salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.
This will cook for 5 minutes, and stir it a few times throughout.
Then some fresh, minced garlic will join the party.
Cook the garlic for about a minute and be prepared for the glorious aroma that will fill your kitchen 🙂
Then add the cooked sausage, a can of crushed tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and four cups of chicken broth.
Once that comes to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes.
Finally, add the tortellini, heavy cream, and chopped spinach.
Tortellini packages come in SO many different sizes.
I have found with recipe testing this soup if you can find a 19 ounce bag like this it’s the perfect amount.
When you add the spinach it looks like a lot at first.
It will cook down to almost nothing, so just trust me here 🙂
Once the pasta, spinach, and cream are added and we are back to a boil again, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 more minutes.
Taste for seasoning and more kosher salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and/or crushed red pepper flakes if needed.
Italian Sausage Tortellini Soup is the perfect cold weather comfort food 🙂
You could serve this with garlic bread for an even cozier meal!
YUM!
