Tuscan Tortellini Soup
A quick and easy tortellini soup that’s amazingly creamy and comforting – perfect for those busy weeknights!
Tortellini. Soup. Croutons. And creamy goodness. And with the help of Wolf’s fuel duel range, you’ll be able to whip this up to absolute perfection.
With this range, you have these dual-stacked, sealed burners with two tiers of flame ports – one delivering higher heat and the other for lower heat settings. And the best part about these settings is that you can turn it up to a high searing heat or you can instantly have the merest breath of flame for simmering without boiling.
And unlike some ranges and cooktops that switch the flame off and on to maintain low temperature, Wolf features True Simmer, which means there is a consistent low flame, giving you a more consistent temperature and more delicious dishes.
Now these settings come in super handy where you need both the boiling and simmering functions. Like with this soup, you’ll first let it come to a boil, allowing the flavors to come together. Then you can throw in your fresh tortellini and let those babies simmer until they’re cooked through.
From there, you’ll have an amazingly hearty, creamy soup, bursting with cheesy goodness from those tortellini bites, wonderfully complemented by a handful of croutons. And no, I won’t be judging if you add extra croutons – I just ask that you add as needed to avoid sogginess! You’ll thank me later for it.

Tuscan Tortellini Soup
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound spicy Italian sausage, casing removed
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 9-ounce package refrigerated three cheese tortellini
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan
- 1 cup croutons
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add Italian sausage to the skillet and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the sausage as it cooks; drain excess fat. Stir in garlic and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
- Whisk in chicken stock, crushed tomatoes, basil, oregano, red pepper flakes and 1 cup water; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil and stir in tortellini; reduce heat and simmer until tortellini is cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
- Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan until well combined and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
- Serve immediately, garnished with croutons, if desired.

Sooooo good!! I have made this 4 times so far for hubby & guests. Everybody loves it! Definitely a keeper.
I added a can of diced tomatoes and a little extra tortellini. So good! Staple in our house ❤️
I can not say enough how AWESOME these recipes are. I make dinner for my neighbors once a week and we all love Damndelicious recipes.
Awwwww, thank you for trying so many of my recipes, Beckey!
I am so happy that I stumbled across your website! This recipe is my boyfriend’s new favorite meal. I only use about half of an onion and a little less than 1/4 cup of parm cheese. I did find a great red pepper italian chicken sausage that gives the soup a nice kick!
Made this soup tonight for the first time with several minor changes (regular not spicy sausage, no red pepper flakes) – delicious! Hubby says recipe is a keeper and I agree. Leftovers for lunch at work tomorrow 🙂
This is the BEST soup I have ever had! I made it for the first time a few weeks before Thanksgiving and just died and went to heaven. It’s been a weekly staple in my house ever since! Thank you for sharing your “damn delicious” recipes with the internet world 🙂 Love from Virginia
This recipe was so delicious but mine sure didn’t look like the photo. I had almost no liquid in the soup. Any suggestions? Possibly doubling the tomatoes?
You can add more chicken stock as needed.
Made this last night and it was delicious – “restaurant quality” as I like to say at the dinner table. It is time consuming to filter through recipes and comments to find those that people have actually tried (that’s the downside to Pinterest). Glad to have found your blog where some actually report back.
That soup looks amazing. Especially on such a super cold day like we are having today.
i love to make big bits of soup and freeze half for later.

I’ve been looking for different soup recipes to get away from the traditional chicken noodle, etc. This looks like it will be a keeper! I will be trying it soon.
There is nothing like a hot bowl of delicious soup on a cold winter’s night, Thanks for the great sounding recipe.
