Sausage Tortellini Soup
What can I say? I’m sipping soup on a hot fall day in Pensacola. This soup makes it feel like it’s actually fall, despite the scorching temperatures. Seared sweet Italian sausage greases the pan up so you can throw a blend of onion, garlic, celery, and carrots to fry up. The smell is absolutely entrancing.
The creamy tomato base is thick and perfectly balanced with an Italian spice blend. Grab a spoon and eat up, this is going to make you feel so cozy!
Did I mention how much I LOVE the smell of sauteed onions, garlic, celery, and carrots. It’s like an Italian perfume, since my hair always smells like whatever I have cooking up. HA!
I am seriously just LOVING soup lately, i cannot get enough of this Lime Soup, I even froze it so I can have individual soups when I want it! Trust me, this is the soup to go for when you are feeling under the weather!

Chefs Tips
- Cook the sausage first. pressed for time? Use ground sausage!
- Use the sausage grease and butter to saute the carrots, celery, onion and garlic in. All the flavors marry happily in the pan, making your home smell like heaven!
- Use a food processor to chop the produce. This can be such a time saver! In this recipe, we want the produce to be chopped finely, so toss it in a blender to get the job done!
- Add the tortellinis last. They can and will get soggy if they are over cooked, so if you plan on letting this soup simmer for some time, add the tortellinis very last, about 3 minutes before taking it off the stove.

- Add the sausage back to the pot. Bring it to a boil.
- Add the tortellinis in the last 3 minutes of cooking.
- Serve with your favorite toppings like fresh oregano or parmesan cheese.
What kind of tortellinis to use
Any tortellinis will do! In this recipe, I used frozen because that’s what the store had in stock. You can use dried or even freshly made tortellinis if you’re feeling adventurous!
What kind of sausage to use
If you want to make this a quick recipe, use ground Italian sausage, as it will cook much quicker than link sausage. In this recipe, I used sweet Italian link sausage. The sweetness of the Italian sausage highlighted the tomato base perfectly. Spicy sausage will add a perfect zing to this dish if that’s what you are looking for!
