Hearty tortellini soup made with Italian sausage, cheese tortellini, and kale. To make it creamy, stir in heavy cream! Serve with crusty bread for a comforting and cozy meal.
This soup has it all…sausage, tortellini pasta, vegetables, and cheese. It is the perfect one pot meal and always a crowd pleaser. It is a family favorite and every time I make it for a party or potluck, it gets rave reviews. Everyone loves this hearty and flavorful tortellini soup!
You can make the soup with our without heavy cream, both ways are delicious, it is just personal preference. If you want a super rich and creamy soup, stir in the heavy cream at the end!
The soup is easy to make and is so good served with crusty bread for dunking. We also like to garnish every bowl with extra Parmesan cheese.
This soup will warm you up and fill you up! It is a dinner winner!
