Make this rich and hearty soup featuring Italian sausage and cheese tortellini in a velvety broth. It cooks quickly in one pot for easy cleanup.

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 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 (9 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 2 cups fresh spinach

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.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes (with their juice), Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Reduce the heat to low, stir in the heavy cream, and let it warm through for 2 minutes. Do not let it boil after adding the cream.
  6. Add the refrigerated tortellini to the simmering soup. Cook according to package directions, usually 5 to 7 minutes, until the tortellini float and are cooked through.
  7. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts, about 1 minute.
  8. Serve the soup immediately.

Notes

  • For a heartier soup, substitute kale for spinach and cook it with the broth for about 5 minutes before adding the tortellini.
  • If you prefer a milder flavor, use sweet Italian sausage instead of hot.
  • You can use frozen tortellini; add them directly to the simmering broth and adjust the cooking time as needed.
