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

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.

This looks amazing! I love tortellini recipes!
Visa giftcard would be awesome for my wedding budget!
I had something else planned for supper BUT after seeing this recipe, this is what I am NOW making, LOL
The sweepstakes gift card is very generous!
Looks yummy! My kids love tortellini.
Love your website. Thank you for the chance to win!
The soup looks delish!!!! and i love that spoon — too cute!
I brag about your site to everyone! From the simplicity, to the healthy and hearty dishes, and the flavor. I’ve made 6 entrees in that last two weeks. I’m looking forward to this soup and more! Thank you for sharing!
Yum, can’t wait to make this!
This does sound yummy. Would this work with low fat or far free half & half rather than heavy cream? Heavy cream is overloaded with fat. Sweepstakes! Yes, sign me up 🙂
Half and half would be a great substitute.
I love tortellini. I love soup.But yet I have never put them together! But I am SO down for a creamy bowl of goodness for dinner, and I love that sausage addition! Pinned!
What would you suggest replacing the spicy sausage with? My family isn’t big on any kind of sausage. Do you think mushrooms or ground turkey would be good?
I love all of your recipes and tips. I am teaching my 11 year old to cook and you make it easy.
Mushrooms and ground turkey sounds great!
Made this soup and it’s over the top GOOD.
Great left-overs too.
This soup looks great
Soup looks delish! The gift card would come in handy as we quickly head into the holiday season.
The soup does look fab! I actually stumbled across your site while looking for a spinach artichoke dip recipe and saw yours made in a crock pot and thought I’d give it a whirl. Pinterest has turned me of all people into a cook, because hey, you can’t just go to Applebee’s every night, right!!
Not entering the sweepstakes or anything. 🙂 Just dropping a message to say that this recipe looks great! Looks like the perfect soup to counteract stress and more stress. Thanks for sharing this! Love from Melbourne.
heehee. is the sweepstakes over? The entry period says 8/19/2014-9/16/2014. Otherwise that’s one hearty soup! yum!
Not at all! The dates have been updated to 11/6/2014-12/4/2014. Thanks for letting me know!
