Sausage Tortellini Soup Recipe

Sausage Tortellini Soup is Perfect for a chilly winter day!

Prep Time 20 mins

Cook Time 15 mins

Total Time 35 mins

Ingredients

1 Tablespoon olive oil
16 ounces Italian sausage
½ yellow onion chopped
1 red bell pepper chopped
2 garlic cloves
8 cups chicken broth
2 cans diced tomatoes
¼ cup chopped kale
½ cup chopped spinach
2 cups tortellini
½ Tablespoon chopped basil
parmesan cheese for topping
salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

In small frying pan, combine oil, onions, peppers, garlic, and sausage. Cook until sausage has completely browned.
While sausage is browning, cook Tortellini according to the package in separate pot.
In large stock pot on medium heat, combine chicken broth, tomatoes (undrained), kale, spinach, and basil. Let it heat through.
To soup mixture, add sausage mixture and tortellini.
Let soup simmer covered on low heat for at least 15 minutes to let flavors combine.
Top with salt and pepper and parmesan cheese and enjoy!

Notes

We have also thrown this in the slow cooker, without the tortellini, for a few hours on low. Add the tortellini about 10 minutes before serving to avoid it getting mushy.

Chris says:

This soup looks amazing! Do you have the nutrients for it?

Den says:

if using slow cooker should I brown sausage before adding with all ingredients except tortellini? Approx hours to cook on low? Can't wait to make sounds delicious!

Cyd says:

Yes, brown the sausage first. Look in step #1 in the directions and it will tell you what to cook with the sausage. Then you could put that in the slow cooker. Cook on low for a few hours. You may just have to experiment with it a little. But if your sausage is cooked first, the main thing is just heating it through. Then adding in the tortellini.
