Make this hearty, velvety sausage tortellini soup in just 30 minutes using only one pot. It is a satisfying comfort food dinner 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
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (15 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
  • 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. 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 are tender.
  5. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts into the soup, which takes about 2 minutes.
  6. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream until the broth is fully incorporated and creamy. Do not let the soup boil after adding the cream.
  7. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Serve this cozy winter soup immediately.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use sweet Italian sausage instead of mild.
  • You can substitute kale for spinach if you prefer a heartier green in your soup with kale and sausage.
  • To make this a slow cooker sausage tortellini soup, brown the sausage and sauté the onion/garlic separately, then transfer everything except the cream and tortellini to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 4 hours, then add tortellini for the last 30 minutes. Stir in cream before serving.
