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

- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

The recipe looks delicious. Soup is a good filling meal for colder weather. I am experimenting with making Tomato Bisque, haven’t perfected it yet.
This looks great! Thanks so much for the recipe!

this soup looks yummy
I made this recipe and it was very delicious. But the next day the leftovers were very concentrate and had a very strong cheese flavor. I think I will make this recipe again but maybe put less grated parmesan or leave it out since the tortellini has cheese and the heavy cream thickens it. But still it tasted amazing! I loved it! Thanks!
*adds ingredients to shopping list* I’ve tried several of your recipes recently & all of them have turned out perfectly. I’m so glad I found your site. It has fixed my meal planning tedium
I’ve gotten all the ingredients to try out this recipe, so excited to taste this soup. I’ve tried out several other recipes from your site and love them! Would also love to have a chance to win the gift card. Aloha!

This soup looks sexy! My wife and I would enjoy this for date night for sure. I’d follow it up with a Dark Chocolate Stout Cake!
I’ve made this dish twice since I found this recipe. On my second I added 3/4 cup of a bold red wine. Then when allowing all the ingredients to bled, I added creamy Havarti to the mixture and it WOWED my guests…even my husband! Thank you so much for these fabulously “damn delicious recipes!” Joey and Dave Light.
this definitely sounds like a great recipe to try!
we’re making this tonight but substituting zucchini and for the sausage so I’m going to add a little extra seasoning to kick up the flavor a notch! I would love to win $100 Visa gift card that would be totally awesome I’m going to tweet about it in just a second and I’ll post that! (Tweeted at @artsygirl1029)
