A comforting twist on Italian classic lasagna, transforming it into a hearty and delicious soup with tortellini, rich flavors, and creamy texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 can (15 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 oz cheese tortellini
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Brown the sausage: In a large pot, brown the Italian sausage over medium heat, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Continue cooking until the meat turns a delicious golden-brown color, which should take about 5–7 minutes.
  2. Add aromatics: Toss in the diced onion, and stir to coat in the sausage fat. Cook until translucent—this usually takes about 3–5 minutes—then incorporate the minced garlic, cooking for just about another minute to release its enchanting aroma.
  3. Combine base ingredients: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, the crushed tomatoes, and the tomato sauce. Sprinkle in the dried Italian herbs, along with salt and pepper. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, allowing flavors to meld together beautifully.
  4. Introduce the tortellini: Gradually stir in the cheese tortellini, cooking according to package instructions—typically about 4 to 5 minutes—until tender and delightful.
  5. Finish with cream and cheese: Lower the heat, and gently stir in the heavy cream and mozzarella cheese until they melt into the soup, creating a creamy consistency.
  6. Serve: Dish out the rich soup into bowls, finishing with a sprinkle of fresh basil for that beautiful pop of green and a burst of flavor.

Notes

For added depth of flavor, consider making the soup a day ahead and refrigerating. Just reheat gently before serving.
