COZY RUSTIC TORTELLINI SAUSAGE SOUP

Serves 6

YOU'LL NEED:

  • 1-2 pounds pork sausage (sweet Italian is a good option)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 4 medium carrots, sliced into rounds or chopped
  • 4 celery stocks, chopped
  • 2 roma tomatoes
  • 1-1/2 tablespoons Italian seasoning blend (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt & Pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 1 pound fresh cheese tortellini
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated (plus more for topping)
  • 1/2 cup half and half or heavy cream*

HERE'S HOW:

  • In a large pot, brown sausage. When cooked through, add onions, carrots, and celery. Cook for 10 minutes until veggies have softened.
  • Stir in tomatoes, tomato paste, and seasoning, and cook for another minute. Stir in chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes.
  • 10 minutes before serving, add tortellini, parmesan, and cream. Ladle into bowls, top with extra parmesan, and serve with crusty bread or grilled cheese!

Notes

*This soup is equally as delicious without the cream if you want to skip, however I find the kids like the creamier version better.
