Print Recipe

A cozy and comforting creamy tortellini soup with tender cheese tortellini, savory sausage, and vibrant spinach that warms the heart.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cheese tortellini
  • 1 pound Italian sausage
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2–3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Sauté the sausage: In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil and the sausage. Break it into small pieces as it browns.
  2. Add the aromatics: Once the sausage is browned, toss in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent.
  3. Pour in the broth: Add the chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. In with the tortellini: Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to package directions, usually around 4-5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the cream: After the tortellini is cooked, stir in the heavy cream and simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  6. Add spinach: Just before serving, toss in the fresh spinach and stir until wilted.
  7. Season to taste: Adjust the flavor with salt and pepper, and consider a squeeze of lemon for brightness.

Notes

Garnish with fresh basil or grated Parmesan cheese for an upscale touch. The soup can be stored in the fridge for 3-4 days and reheated with a splash of broth if it thickens.
