Soup Season: Creamy Tortellini Soup Recipe

We’ve made it to the final pick of soup season, and we’re closing things out with a fan favorite: Creamy Tortellini Soup. I’m not saying this will fix your day… but it might fix dinner. It’s rich, cozy, loaded with sausage and cheese-stuffed tortellini, and comes together in one pot. So that means easy clean up.

This one has quickly become a go-to in our house, and I think it’s going to become one in yours too. 🧡

This is soup season pick #4 – our last one of the series, and a really good one to end on!

• Loaded with tortellini: Cheese-stuffed tortellini makes this soup feel extra hearty and comforting.
• Ready in under an hour: No long simmer time needed – just brown, build, and go.
• A total crowd-pleaser: Even picky eaters tend to love this one.

Creamy Tortellini Soup Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 6–7 Italian sausage links (casings removed), or 1 pound ground Italian sausage
• 1 large white onion, chopped
• 4 tablespoons chopped garlic
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ cup flour
• 32 oz carton chicken stock
• 20 oz package cheese-stuffed tortellini
• 2–3 cups fresh spinach
• 1 cup heavy cream

Directions

1. Drizzle the olive oil into the bottom of a large pot over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up as it browns, until fully cooked through.
2. Add the chopped onion to the pot with the sausage and cook until softened.
3. Stir in the chopped garlic along with a couple of generous pinches of salt, ground pepper, and the oregano.
4. Sprinkle in the flour a little at a time, stirring between additions, until the sausage and onions are evenly coated.
5. Pour in the chicken stock, stirring well to combine and work out any lumps from the flour.
6. Add the tortellini and fresh spinach, and let simmer until the tortellini is cooked through and the spinach has wilted.
7. Stir in the heavy cream and let the soup warm through before serving.

A cozy, hearty bowl that’s basically a hug in soup form. ❤️

Tips for the Best Tortellini Soup

• Sausage choice: Mild or spicy Italian sausage both work great here, pick whichever your family prefers.
• Fresh vs. frozen tortellini: Fresh, refrigerated tortellini cooks the fastest, but frozen works too. Just add a few extra minutes of simmer time.
• Make it your own: Swap the spinach for kale, or add a handful of grated Parmesan on top for even more flavor.
