I’m more of a warm weather girl than a cold weather girl. But one thing that makes me not hate the cold quite as much is knowing that it is soup season.
I’m a girl who will eat soup year round, no matter what the temperature is like outside. But there is nothing quite like serving up a big bowl of hot soup, (preferably with a big slice of homemade bread), when the temperatures outside have dropped. It’s warm and cozy and this is one instance where food just makes you feel good.
This Sausage Tortellini Soup is the perfect soup for colder weather. You get lots of veggies with the zucchini, carrots and spinach, and the pasta is a great way to turn this into an easy main dish. But the star of the show for me is the sausage.
This soup does take a little bit of time to cook, but the hands on time is pretty minimal. This is a great soup to start and have on the stove on those nights when life is crazy and everyone isn’t able to eat at the same time.
How to Make Sausage Tortellini Soup
- Start by cooking the sausage in a large soup pot or Dutch oven. You want to break it up as it cooks.
- Once the sausage is browned, add the onion and the garlic and cook until they are softened.
- Then stir in the chicken broth, as well as the tomatoes, basil, carrots, oregano, and tomato sauce. Let this simmer for 30 minutes.
- Add the zucchini to the pot and cook for an additional 20 minutes, then stir in the tortellini and the spinach. Cook just until the tortellini is soft, about 10 minutes.

The weather is totally crazy in Utah, isn’t it? (Truthfully that’s one of the big reasons we moved – we heard winters are more mild where we are now. haha)
