Spicy Italian sausage, tender baby spinach, and fluffy tortellini come together for one delicious bowl of goodness. Spinach and Tortellini soup is going to become your go to winter staple.
Another day, another cozy bowl of soup.
At this rate, I should think about changing my blog name to Soup Thyme. I'm kidding-- but only slightly!
This soup Michael has deemed "Pizza Soup." I'm not sure on the name-- but it does have all of the flavors there. Italian sausage, cheese, tomatoes, all in a garlicky sauce.
I say this about most soups, but this Spinach and Tortellini soup is one that is truly so easy to prepare. The only chopping you have to do is the garlic and onions, and it's completely a one pot wonder! The tortellini are fresh and cook in just minutes. Spinach is fresh and tender, and can be added right at the end to maintain its color and texture.

What can I use instead of sausage?
Thank you
Hi Marsha! You could sub in ground beef or even shredded chicken. I would just adjust the seasonings a bit by adding in something like Italian seasoning or another blend (sausage has spices in it that help flavor the soup). You could honestly forgo meat entirely, it's great with just the tortellini!
Well, my picky husband loved this soup! (we all did!) It's rare for him to ask me to make something again.
Linda,
I'm so happy to hear you both enjoyed it! My husband liked it too-- he was eating it cold right out of the fridge. 🙂
