Ingredients
- 1 lb Italian sausage I used mild
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 chicken bouillon cube
- 5 cups water
- 8 oz tomato sauce
- 8 oz tortellini I used cheese filled
- ½ cup heavy cream optional
- salt and pepper to taste
- spinach or kale optional
Instructions
- Heat up a large pot over medium heat. I used a 5 qt Dutch oven.
- Add sausage and break it apart with a spatula. Cook until nicely browned, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Once browned, remove sausage into a bowl and set aside.
- Add onion, garlic, and carrots to the pot and cook until softened.
- Add seasoning, bouillon cube, and stir in. This helps to activate the dry herbs and increase flavor of the bouillon cube. Stir it well, while cooking. Saute for 2 minutes.
- Add water and tomato sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
- Add sausage and tortellini and cook for about 8 minutes OR until the tortellini is cooked.
- Remove from heat and let it stand for 10 minutes.
- Add spinach or kale, if desired, and heavy cream if you want to make the soup creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper before serving.
Notes
- If you plan on freezing this soup, do not add the cream as the last step. Freeze the soup in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge. Add cream just before serving.
- Any leftovers should be stored in a container with a lid, in the fridge, for up to 5 days. Reheat the soup in a pot on the stove or in the microwave.
