Make this hearty, flavorful, and comforting creamy sausage tortellini soup in one pot. It features Italian sausage, cheese tortellini, and fresh spinach in a rich broth, perfect for an easy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (20-ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 5 ounces fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes (with their juice). Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Add the refrigerated tortellini to the simmering broth. Cook according to package directions, usually about 5 to 7 minutes, until the tortellini are tender.
  5. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts into the soup, which takes about 2 minutes.
  6. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and the grated Parmesan cheese until the soup is creamy and heated through. Do not let the soup boil after adding the cream.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese on top.

Notes

  • For a heartier soup, you can substitute kale for spinach, adding it a few minutes earlier than the spinach since kale takes longer to soften.
  • If you do not have refrigerated tortellini, use frozen, but you may need to add 2 to 3 extra minutes to the cooking time.
  • This soup freezes well; cool completely before storing in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
