Creamy Tortellini Soup

Print Recipe

A cozy and creamy soup featuring cheese tortellini, savory sausage, and vibrant spinach, perfect for chilly days.

Ingredients

  • Cheese Tortellini (fresh or frozen)
  • Italian Sausage (or turkey sausage for a lighter option)
  • Fresh Spinach (2 cups)
  • Heavy Cream (1 cup)
  • Vegetable or Chicken Broth (6 cups)
  • Garlic (3-4 cloves, minced)
  • Onion (1 medium, chopped)
  • Italian Seasoning (to taste)
  • Olive Oil (for sautéing)
  • Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Once it’s hot, toss in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Brown the sausage: Remove the sausage from its casing and crumble it into the pot. Cook thoroughly, stirring occasionally until browned, about 7-10 minutes.
  3. Pour in the broth: Add 6 cups of your chosen broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Add the tortellini: Gently add the cheese tortellini to the pot and cook until they float to the surface, approximately 5-7 minutes for fresh or 8-10 minutes for frozen.
  5. Incorporate the spinach: Stir in 2 cups of fresh spinach and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted.
  6. Make it creamy: Reduce the heat to low and stir in 1 cup of heavy cream. Warm for another minute without boiling.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Ladle into bowls and top with fresh parmesan cheese or a drizzle of olive oil.

Notes

For added flavor, serve with crusty bread and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
