A hearty, flavorful soup with creamy broth, savory sausage, and cheesy tortellini—perfect for chilly evenings and comfort food cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage (sweet or spicy)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 5 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 12 ounces cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
  • 3 cups fresh spinach leaves, washed and roughly chopped
  • 1 14-ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into crumbles, until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside. Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for 3 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
  3. Return the sausage to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth and crushed tomatoes. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Let the soup simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. Add the tortellini to the pot and cook according to the package instructions (usually 5-7 minutes). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Once the tortellini is tender, add the spinach and stir until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Season the soup with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste. Ladle into bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

Brown the sausage well for deeper flavor. Don’t overcook the tortellini to avoid mushiness. Fresh spinach works best, but frozen spinach can be used if thawed and drained. Adjust spice level with red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
