Description
This soul-warming Sausage and Tortellini Soup transforms simple ingredients into a bowl of creamy, comforting goodness.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup diced onions
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 9 ounces cheese tortellini
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions
- Brown the Italian sausage in a large soup pot over medium-high heat until crispy and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break it into bite-sized crumbles, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the diced carrots and onions to the same pot with the sausage drippings. Sprinkle with a generous pinch of kosher salt and cook until the vegetables begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic to the pot and stir constantly for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken stock and diced tomatoes, scraping the bottom of the pot with your spoon.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Add the cheese tortellini to the pot along with the reserved sausage, then simmer for about 5 minutes or until the tortellini is tender.
- Remove the pot from heat and stir in the heavy cream.
- Serve immediately in warmed bowls with a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top.
