How to Make Easy Tortellini Sausage Soup

 

I like to make this soup recipe in a dutch oven, but it can also easily be make it in large soup pot. It’s cooked entirely on the stovetop.

The first step is to make your tortellini so it’s ready to add to the soup at the end. Prepare the tortellini according to package instructions, be sure not too overcook it or it may be too mushy or even fall apart in the soup.

To get started on the soup, melt butter over medium heat (in your dutch oven or soup pot) and then add diced shallot. Working with a wooden spoon sauté the shallot for 1-2 minutes. Next add in sliced carrots and white button mushrooms, continue to sauté for a few minutes until the vegetables start to soften.

Turn the heat up to medium-high and add the ground sausage, break it into bite sized pieces with the wooden spoon. Add garlic, tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, fennel seed, oregano and parsley – all of these add flavor to the soup. Add in spinach and kale and then pour in stalk. Bring the soup to a boil and then reduce it to a simmer.

Right before serving add the cooked tortellini. Serve the soup hot and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
