Tortellini and Sausage Soup

This soup comes together in about 30 minutes and is packed with flavor. You’ll get a bite of cheesy tortellini, savory sausage, and tender carrot in every bite, while cream gives the soup a rich and full flavor. It also freezes well if you want to make extra to save for a later date!

Course Soup

Servings 4

Ingredients

  

• 1 onion chopped
• 1 pound Italian sausage
• 1 cup carrots (about 2 large) chopped
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
• 28 oz can of diced tomatoes
• 4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 1 bunch kale chopped
• 20 oz cheese tortellini
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• parmesan cheese shredded, to taste

Instructions

 

• Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and Italian sausage. Break up the sausage, mixing for about 8 minutes until fully cooked.
• Add in carrots, garlic, and Italian seasoning, cooking for 3 minutes.
• Add the diced tomatoes and chicken stock, bringing to a simmer. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until the carrots are tender.
• Add the kale and tortellini and simmer for 4 minutes, until the tortellini is cooked and the kale is wilted.
• Pour in heaving whipping cream, heating for another minute.
• Serve and top with parmesan cheese!

Notes

Feel free to use spinach or swiss chard instead of kale. The spinach will wilt more and is not as sturdy of a green, which is why I like to use kale. 

You can make this soup vegetarian by leaving out the Italian sausage. You can also add more veggies in place of the meat, like mushrooms.
