To prepare this tasty Sausage Tortellini Soup, you will need these ingredients:
1 pound. Italian sausage meat: Select a good Italian sausage for the most delicious taste. You can use either sweet or spicy sausage, depending on what you like.
1 onion of medium size, finely chopped. The onion gives flavor to the soup.
3 pieces of minced garlic. Garlic improves the taste with its strong smell.
1 teaspoon of dried basil: Adds a bit of sweetness and a touch of Italian style.
1 teaspoon of dried oregano: Offers a strong, natural taste.
1 teaspoon of dried parsley: Enhances the taste with its fresh, slightly grassy hints.
Half a teaspoon of dried thyme. Gives the soup a mild natural flavor.
2 small amounts of crushed red pepper: If desired, add a little spice.
2 cups of beef broth with low sodium: Gives the soup a tasty flavor without being too salty.
1 and a half tablespoons of tomato paste: Enhances the taste and makes it more flavorful.
1 can of fire-roasted tomatoes (14.5 ounces): Gives a smoky, slightly burned taste.
4 cups of vegetable or low-sodium chicken broth. Puts more liquid and taste into the soup.
10 ounces of cheese-filled pasta that needs to be kept in the refrigerator: Adds a smooth, cheesy element to the soup.
3 cups of arugula or spinach: Adds a new, natural touch.
Parmesan cheese that has been shredded into small pieces. When serving, it gives a tasty, cheesy touch.
Fresh thyme (if desired, for decoration): Adds a bit of sophistication.
Fresh basil (if desired, for decoration): Improves the taste of the soup.
Directions
Cook the sausage until it is brown.
Begin by warming a big pot on the stove over medium heat. Put the Italian sausage on the pan and cook it until it is brown and completely cooked. When the sausage begins to turn brown, put the chopped onion in the pot. Keep cooking until the sausage is completely cooked and the onion is soft and see-through.
Include the spices.
Lower the heat and put in the chopped garlic, dried herbs, and red pepper flakes. Stir continuously for around 1 minute until the garlic smells good and the herbs give off their scent.
Use tomato paste.
In a little bowl, mix the tomato paste with around ½ cup of the beef broth until it’s smooth. Pour this mix into the pot, then add the rest of the beef broth, vegetable or chicken broth, and the can of fire-roasted tomatoes. Turn up the heat to medium and let the soup simmer gently.
Make the tortellini.
When the soup starts to boil gently, lower the heat to let it simmer. Put the cheese-filled pasta in the pot and cook for 10-15 minutes until it is soft and fully cooked. Remember to occasionally mix the tortellini so they don’t stick to the pot.
Complete the soup.
Take the pot off the stove and mix in the arugula or spinach until it wilts. Try the soup and add salt and pepper to taste if necessary.
To help or assist.
Put the soup in bowls and add 1-2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese on top of each serving. If you want, decorate with some fresh thyme or basil to give it more flavor and make it look nice.
Written reminders.
Differences: You can also use different kinds of leafy greens like kale or Swiss chard if you like. For a healthier option, use turkey sausage instead of Italian sausage.
Keeping things. You can keep any extra soup in the fridge for three days. It can also be kept in the freezer for up to 3 months. To warm up, defrost in the fridge overnight and heat on the stove.
Ideas for how to serve. This soup goes well with crunchy bread or a basic green salad.
