Creamy Tortellini Soup with Sausage

by Anna Chwistek
Anna Chwistek

An ultra creamy tortellini soup with sausage and bell pepper. A comforting soup you can make time and time again. Loaded with Italian sausage, cheese tortellini and tender sautéed bell pepper, all tossed with an Italian seasoning and swimming in a rich tomatoey broth. Jazzed up with Parmesan and a touch of heavy cream for good measure. It’s a 30 minute meal of your dreams, you won’t believe how flavorful this pot of soup is until you try it. Be sure to serve this with a side of garlic bread for a mouthwatering result.

You’ll love this tortellini soup, because it’s one of the easiest and most flavorful dishes to make. The tomatoey broth is complex yet so hearty and comforting, and the cheesy tortellini add a brilliant touch and a chewy bite. This truly is a one pot wonder, just make a double batch or you’ll be sorry.
Let me guide you through the recipe with this step-by-step VIDEO.

This is how we make it

We start by sautéing the bell pepper in oil and butter, then add the shallots and garlic. Next we add the sausages together with a mix of my favorite Italian spices… dried oregano, sage and smoked paprika. They add so much flavor and are KEY here. 

Then add tomato paste, puréed tomatoes and chicken broth. Cover and cook for 15 minutes.

Once the soup has finished cooking, we stir in cream, parmesan cheese, and the cheese tortellini. Cook another few minutes and then that’s it.

Super easy, but yet so delicious.

RECIPE NOTES

You’re going to love how versatile this soup is!

  • the mild Italian sausage is the component that brings some great flavor here. You can, of course, use ground pork, beef or chicken. Or skip the meat to create a vegetarian dish, it will still taste incredible
  • add more veggies, like carrots, zucchini, spinach, kale or Swiss chard
  • swap heavy cream for half-and-half or soy cream
  • instead of pureed tomatoes, you could use canned pumpkin puree for a change, or sweet potato puree 
  • as for the tortellini, for that perfect al dente toothsome texture, it’s best to add them just a few minutes before serving, as you don’t want them getting overcooked or falling apart
  • if you’re planning on eating leftovers or meal prepping this soup, it’s best to cook the tortellini separately and add them to the soup whenever you’re ready to eat
  • instead of tortellini, add pasta like fusilli, campanelle, casarecce, gemelli or farfalle 
  • serve with a side of garlic bread or some crusty bread

    Absolutely incredible!! I could eat this all week long (and I will since I made a big batch!) My husband called it “fancy restaurant soup” and said “I’d pay $30 a bowl for this.” That’s high praise! I did add spinach as suggested and didn’t use the full amount of cream. Delicious!

    What kind of chicken broth do you use? It looked like powder mixed with water?

    Thank you!

    This is a huge hit with my family!! Everytime I visit home, they request I make this for them. I’ve probably made it 4 or 5 times so far and there are never leftovers because they keep going back for second helpings!! Super tasty and awesome recipe thank you!

    My husband loved this! Wants it put in the permanent rotation. TBH added more chicken broth because mine seemed a bit too thick. But it’s a winner.

    I pulled a fresh bulb of garlic from the garden and was a little worried it would be too strong for this soup. But it was absolutely scrumptious! I will add spinach next time. Thanks!

        This is one of our absolute favorite recipes!! I was wondering if you have ever made it in a slow cooker or if you have any suggestions as to doing so?

          Hi, I’m so happy you’re enjoying this recipe! I haven’t made it in a slow cooker, but you can try to cook it for 7-8 on low or 4-5 hours on high. About 30 minutes prior to serving, add in the tortellini, cream and Parmesan. Happy cooking!
