How To Customize This Tortellini Soup Recipe
- I use crushed tomatoes in this recipe, but you can easily swap them for diced tomatoes, just drain the can, and then add an 8 oz can of tomato sauce as well.
- You can absolutely omit the cream, or use a lighter milk, or a neutral non-dairy milk. If you omit the cream, just add a bit of extra broth to replace the liquid content.
- Make it spicier by using hot Italian sausage instead of mild, or adding more red pepper flakes!
- Feel free to use frozen tortellini if that’s what you have on hand, just note it will take a bit longer to cook versus refrigerated varieties. You can also have fun by utilizing different tortellini fillings as opposed to cheese.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups sweet yellow onion diced
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh garlic minced
- 1 lb ground Italian sausage
- 2 (28 oz each) cans crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons dried basil
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- ¾ cup grated parmesan
- 20 oz cheese tortellini refrigerated
- 2 cups packed fresh spinach chiffonade
Instructions
- Add olive oil to a large pot and heat over medium-high. Add the onions, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking up the meat as it browns, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain excess grease if desired.
- Carefully pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth, then add the basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine, then reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for 20 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Uncover soup and add the heavy cream, parmesan, and tortellini, stirring well to combine. Cover once more and continue simmering for another 20 minutes, or until tortellini is cooked through and soft. Stir in spinach and let wilt before serving.

Tortellini Soup Recipe is a tasty dish. But instead of olive oil I have used ghee as i have compared ghee vs olive oil and have found ghee as a better cooking oil. In my ghee-cooking, ghee has worked as a natural taste enhancer too.
I prefer using Milkio grass-fed ghee for all my recipes.

I made this a few weeks ago and it was off the charts amazing. Super easy to make and really flavorful. Even my husband, who doesn’t like soup, enjoyed this recipe. It will be in the normal rotation for us!
