Sausage Tortellini Soup
I love this cozy Sausage Tortellini Soup when the weather turns cold. It’s a hearty, high protein main dish soup – perfect for cool evenings or when you want a meal that feels comforting without a lot of effort. Made with cheese-filled tortellini, spinach, and sausage, this soup feels like a warm hug. If you don’t like sausage, try some of my other tortellini soups, like Spinach Tortellini en Brodo, Meatball Tortellini Soup, and Three Cheese Tortellini and Mushroom Soup.

Sausage: Remove the casings from sweet Italian chicken or pork sausage links. Premio is my favorite brand. I usually use their chicken sausage. Mirepoix is chopped celery, onion, and carrot, which are the base for this soup. Garlic adds a rich, aromatic depth to the broth. Liquid: Use unsalted chicken bone broth and water. Better Than Bouillon provides more flavor since we’re using reduced- sodium broth. Parmigiano Reggiano Rind is optional for flavor, it infuses the broth as it breaks down in the soup. Whenever I finish a block of parmesan, I always freeze the rinds to have on hand for future recipes. Black Pepper for seasoning Tortellini: I used Buitoni’s three-cheese tortellini, but any brand will work. Spinach for extra vegetables Parmigiano Reggiano: Top your tortellini soup with grated cheese, if desired.

Variations

Meat: Replace chicken sausage with turkey, pork, or soy. You could also use ground turkey or beef with extra seasoning, like salt, onion powder, and dried Italian herbs. Vegetarian Tortellini Soup: Omit the sausage and add more veggies. Tortellini: Use ravioli or spinach tortellini. Dairy-Free: Replace tortellini with pasta, like orecchiette or farfalle, and skip the parmesan rind. Heartier Soup: For more substance, add canned beans or extra vegetables, like zucchini, bell pepper, or canned diced tomatoes. Bone broth: I use unsalted chicken bone broth to add more protein. You could also use chicken or vegetable broth. Leafy Greens: Sub kale or Swiss chard for spinach.
