Description

Warm, hearty, and made for sharing, this Sausage Tortellini Soup brings comfort to every spoonful. Featuring our Italian Ground Sausage—both mild and sweet—this rich, satisfying soup starts with savory sausage sautéed alongside garlic, onion, peppers, and mushrooms, then simmered into a creamy, herb-forward broth. Tender cheese tortellini and fresh spinach round it out for a perfectly balanced bowl that’s cozy yet craveable. Finished with a sprinkle of shredded Italian cheese, it’s an easy weeknight favorite that tastes like it simmered all day.

Ingredients

2 cups cheese tortellini olive oil, for sautéing
1 tablespoon garlic, minced or chopped
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 pound mild ground sausage
1 pound sweet ground sausage
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons basil
2 tablespoons parsley
1 tablespoon oregano
8 cups chicken broth
3–4 cups spinach
salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste
shredded italian cheese, for garnish

Instructions

In a medium pot, bring water to a boil. Add tortellini and cook for 3–4 minutes until they begin to soften. (They should not be completely done, just beginning to soften.) Remove tortellini from water so they don’t continue cooking and set aside.

In an 8-quart stockpot, heat olive oil over mediumhigh heat. (You just need enough olive oil to cover the bottom of the pan. The sausage will render the fat needed to make the roux for the soup.) Add garlic, onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms and sauté until soft.

Add all of the sausage to the stockpot and continue cooking until sausage is fully cooked. Break up sausage as it cooks.

When sausage is done cooking, add the flour and stir until flour is absorbed by the oil and sausage grease rendered in the pot.

Add basil, parsley, and oregano to the stockpot. Combine well.

Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Stir constantly until the mixture begins to thicken.

Add the spinach slowly (one handful at a time), allowing the broth to reduce the spinach as you continue adding it.

After all spinach is added and has cooked down, add the cooked tortellini. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium low and simmer until desired thickness is achieved, about 20 minutes.

Garnish with shredded cheese
