Print Recipe

A comforting creamy tortellini soup filled with cheese tortellini, savory sausage, spinach, and a rich cream base.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (or thawed frozen spinach)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
  • 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 sweet onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil, for cooking

Instructions

  1. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Toss in the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add chicken broth to the pot and bring to a gentle boil.
  4. Introduce the tortellini, cooking according to package instructions, typically around 5-7 minutes.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and fresh spinach, allowing the spinach to wilt for another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls, topping with freshly grated parmesan. Serve hot with crusty bread.

Notes

For a lighter version, replace heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk. This soup can also be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator.
