Tortellini & Sausage Soup

A true bowl of comfort with this filling, hearty soup.

It has a little heat and a lot of creamy goodness. I love adding in a bunch of fresh kale or spinach but you can omit that if you prefer. Also you can use hot Italian sausage instead of mild if you prefer to kick up the spice. This soup is bold and delicious and probably my favorite fall soup we make here. It’s sure to be a new family favorite, and it’s simple to make and even store as delicious leftovers for the next day.

I hope you love this sausage and tortellini soup as much as we do, and that you save this recipe for the future. Also if you try it be sure to tag me on social media so I can share your delicious food.

Enjoy!
