Description

Creamy Sausage Tortellini Soup is a rich and comforting one pot meal made with savory turkey sausage, tender cheese tortellini, fresh vegetables, and a smooth creamy broth. This soup delivers bold flavor with simple preparation and is perfect for an easy homemade dinner that feels satisfying and indulgent without being complicated.


Ingredients

Italian style turkey sausage removed from casings

Carrots finely chopped

Yellow onion diced

Fresh garlic minced

Italian seasoning blend

All purpose flour

Low sodium chicken broth

Tomato paste

Heavy cream

Three cheese tortellini

Fresh kale chopped

Salt and black pepper


Instructions

Heat a large heavy bottom pot over medium high heat and add the turkey sausage, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks until fully browned

Transfer the cooked sausage to a plate and set aside while keeping the rendered fat in the pot

Add the chopped carrots and onion to the pot and sauté until softened and fragrant

Stir in the minced garlic and Italian seasoning and cook briefly until aromatic

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and return the sausage to the pot, stirring well to coat everything evenly

Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring to create a smooth base

Add the tomato paste and mix until fully incorporated into the broth

Reduce heat slightly and stir in the heavy cream to create a rich and creamy texture

Add the cheese tortellini and allow the soup to gently simmer until the pasta is tender

Fold in the chopped kale and let it wilt in the hot soup

Season with salt and black pepper to taste and serve hot

Notes

Simmer the soup gently to prevent the cream from separating and to keep the tortellini tender

Allow the soup to rest briefly after cooking to help the flavors blend and the broth thicken naturally

Adjust seasoning only at the end since the sausage and tortellini already add salt

If the soup thickens too much when reheating, add a splash of chicken broth or cream and warm gently
