Tuscan Tortellini Mushroom + Sausage Soup is a rich and comforting dish filled with tender cheese tortellini, savory Italian sausage, earthy mushrooms, and a creamy herb-infused broth. This hearty Tuscan-inspired soup is perfect for cozy evenings and satisfying family meals.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Italian sausage
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (14 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 9 ounces refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed.
  2. Add diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  3. Add sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5–7 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Stir in oregano, basil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Add heavy cream and simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. Stir in tortellini and cook according to package instructions, about 5–7 minutes, until tender.
  7. Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted.
  8. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  9. Serve hot with additional Parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • For best texture, cook tortellini just until tender to prevent mushiness.
  • Freeze the soup without tortellini for up to 2 months for better results.
  • Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter version.
  • Reheat gently and add extra broth if the soup thickens.
