Sausage Tortellini Soup

Sausage Tortellini Soup

This creamy Sausage Tortellini Soup is a 30 minute meal that’s easy to make with sausage, spinach, simple seasonings, and a creamy broth!

Ingredients

1 lb ground Italian sausage, hot or mild
1 yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 Tbsp flour
1 tsp basil
½ tsp oregano
1 pinch cayenne (optional)
1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
1 cup heavy cream
5 cups chicken broth
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
500g tortellini (or close to) (dry, refrigerated or frozen)
Salt and cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

Remove the casings from the sausage, if you purchased links. Cook and crumble the sausage, and the diced onions, over medium-high heat. You want to cook this until the onions are softened, and the sausage is cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain the grease. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. After that, add the flour, and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste. Next, add the seasonings and stir well to combine.

Then, add the chicken broth, and use a spatula to scrape the bottom of the pot. Slowly stir in the heavy cream. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer. Add the spinach and tortellini, and simmer for 3-5 minutes. (If your tortellini needs longer cooking time, add the tortellini first, then the spinach during the last 5 minutes.) Taste the soup, and add salt if desired. Start with ¼ tsp and add more after that if needed. Transfer to serving bowls and serve with croutons or a loaf of your favorite garlic bread!
