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.

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

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.

This sounds super good!
Super great! I’m wondering if I can substitute soy chorizo for the Italian sausage next time…
You can certainly try substituting soy chorizo but without further recipe testing, I cannot speak for how much this will change the overall taste/texture of the dish. It is always best to use the ingredients listed in the recipe to obtain the best results possible.
Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your website. I’m not a confident cook and your website is very helpful! I love the step by step pictures! Other websites the comments constantly say how they change the recipe! With yours I know it’s just right! I’ve made a few things of yours already and loved them all! With cold approaching this soup may be next! Thanks for what you do!
Sounds simple and amazingly GOOD! I love spicy Italian sausage in just about any dish. 😀

Looks amazing! Love your site!
This soup sounds wonderful…will try soon!

This soup looks delicious and I think my kids would even eat it! I used 4 of your other recipes this week and my family is loving it! I think my favorite was the bang bang shrimp. I could eat that sauce every night!
I love this recipe but how would it be without the cream? I love your recipes but as some one who has to be extremely careful about dairy products, I often have to modify them. The cheese in the tortellini is kind of pushing the amount my current dairy limits.
You can omit the cream if you absolutely have to but it probably will not taste as good as adding it in!
This was delish! I made it last night and it was a hit. Had leftovers today which tasted great as well…more of a very creamy pasta dish than a soup.. but equally tasty! Thanks for the wonderful recipe!
I’m so glad you tried out this recipe! You can also add more chicken stock as needed until the desired consistency is reached. Hope that helps!
