Homemade Italian Tortellini Soup Recipe

I am a huge fan of comfort foods, and this Homemade Italian Tortellini Soup Recipe is one of the most “comfy” recipes that I know of! This soup is so wonderfully delicious and perfect on a chilly day and it is a hit with my entire family. I love that it is easy to make and it is so filling.

Dry Tortellini pasta 8 oz pkg – I used tricolor, cheese

1/2 lb browned Italian sausage – I use Bob Evans Italian Sausage in the (green wrapper) roll. I saved half for omelets the next morning.

1 box of chicken broth – 32 oz

1 cup water

1 can Italian style diced tomatoes – 14 oz

1 cup diced or chopped carrots

1/2 an onion, diced

1 cup diced celery

1-1/2 cups chopped fresh spinach

2-3 cloves of minced garlic

2 teaspoons oregano

2 teaspoons basil

2 teaspoons rosemary

2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste (I actually didn’t add any salt!)

Parmesan cheese

In a large stock pot on the stove, add olive oil, onions and garlic. Heat until onions are translucent. About 5 minutes.

Add sausage, carrots, celery, tomatoes, chicken broth, water, oregano, basil and rosemary. Heat until boiling stirring every so often. Let boil for about 5 minutes. If your carrots are large, you may have to cook longer so they soften.

Once boiling, add pasta and spinach and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until pasta is done to your liking.

Serve in bowls topped with Parmesan cheese or let simmer on low until ready to serve.

Makes 6-8 servings. Enjoy!
