Description
This hearty Sausage Tortellini Soup combines savory Italian sausage, tender cheese-filled tortellini, and fresh spinach in a rich tomato broth, creating a comforting and flavorful meal perfect for any day.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (28 oz) can crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 9 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (for serving)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it into bite-sized pieces, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté until translucent, approximately 3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Add the dried basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add the cheese tortellini to the pot and cook according to package instructions until tender, usually 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
- Remove the pot from heat. Serve the soup hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
Notes
- For a spicier version, use hot Italian sausage and add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Substitute kale for spinach if preferred; add it along with the tortellini to allow more cooking time.
- Use refrigerated or frozen tortellini; adjust cooking time as needed.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
