Sausage Tortellini soup is full of delicious flavors. Packed with tortellini, sausage, and zucchini, everyone will want the recipe.
Tortellini and Sausage Soup. It is probably the recipe I have had the most requests for. Everytime I have made it someone or multiple someones ask me for the recipe. Yes, it is that good.
Especially on a cold night, this soup will warm you up and fill you up at the same time! It is a great recipe to share with friends and neighbors who are under the weather. They always love it!
I usually use a sweet Italian sausage but a spicy one would be yummy too. In addition to the tortellini it has carrots, tomatoes and zucchini. And you can top it off with some shredded Parmesan cheese.

November 13, 2007 at 1:52 pmThat soup sounds fabulus. Especially with the nights and mornings being cooler. I’ll have to convert it to points in WW, but I bet it would work great! THANKS for sharing!

October 25, 2008 at 9:29 pmI have really enjoyed your blog. You have great ideas and I think I am going to make your soup, popcorn and your fun mums in a pumpkin this week! Thanks for the inspiration.

January 13, 2009 at 8:17 pmDo you use the beef or chicken broth when you make yours and is there a substition for the white wine?
Thanks

I use beef broth and if you aren’t using wine just add in more beef broth to replace it – enjoy!

February 28, 2009 at 3:36 pmI think I have made that bread before. I got the recipe in one of those little cookbooks you buy at the grocery store, the ones by the checkout. I took them to work once and was accused of buying them, so I took them with the book the next time. The women raved over how they looked like the photo in the book. I have made the almond bark covered popcorn, too. I use lightly salted dry roasted peanuts and the small M&M’s in there. The mix is really great at Christmas with the colored M&Ms. I love this blog, thanks for sharing!!!

October 14, 2009 at 1:50 pmI was wondering what the quantities were for the candy corn popcorn. I know Walmart sells Almond bark (I think 1 1/2 pounds) but I want to ensure I am doing the right quantities. Also, you indicated a large bag of popcorn. I can certainly eyeball the candy corn but the other two are important so it isn’t too sweet. Thanks!!!

October 16, 2009 at 3:40 pmHi,
Love your site. I was wondering the same thing as the above comment. Can you be a bit more specific on quantity so I can make plans to make the popcorn?
Thanks!
Leigh Anne
October 16, 2009 at 3:50 pmI used about 16 cups of popped popcorn to a package of almond bark – hope this helps. Enjoy!

October 25, 2009 at 5:28 pmWould you be able to tell me exactly what Almond Bark is. Someone mentioned they have it at Wal-Mart–what section would it be in and is it called “Almond Bark”? It is something new to me and I just want to make sure I get the correct ingredient.
Thanks for your help.

October 26, 2012 at 8:23 amIn the updated version it doesn’t show white wine that one of the older reviewers mentioned. Is this in the revised recipe the water. It looks delicious, going to try next week.
Leigh Anne
October 26, 2012 at 1:50 pmThe original recipe had it but I know just use water instead.

October 30, 2012 at 8:26 amI made this last night for my man-boys and they loved it! I love the local store in Vancouver, Chucks Produce! I picked up the fresh ingredients there and learned that Chucks does not sell pork products. Therefore, I tried the chicken italian sausage and it was awesome! Chucks is closed on Saturdays; however, I believe that for those in Portland a quick trip across the bridge to visit this store would be time well spent. Thanks for the great recipe Leigh Ann!

October 30, 2012 at 8:29 amSo glad you enjoyed the soup. I’ll have to make a trip across the river and pay Chuck a visit!

September 13, 2013 at 5:07 amI’m never sure how to cook the Italian sausage…do you keep it in the casing while cooking, or remove from casing before cooking for the sausage/tortellini soup?
Leigh Anne
September 13, 2013 at 7:22 amI buy the bulk, ground up sausage so it doesn’t have a casing on it. But if I was using a sausage with a casing I would remove the casing and cook up the sausage like hamburger meat.

January 3, 2014 at 11:47 amHave you slightly changed the recipe? I thought originally there was white wine and a 29 oz. can of crushed tomatoes. Either way, it’s one of my favorite soup recipes.
Leigh Anne
January 6, 2014 at 9:10 amYou are right. I hired someone to go in and reformat my recipes and that must have gotten left off – sorry about that!
We love this soup too!!!

November 5, 2016 at 5:40 amCan’t wait to make this for a party. Do you think I could make it the day before, refrigerate, put it in a crock pot to reheat on low for 3 hours or so (double batch) and then serve?
Leigh Anne
November 5, 2016 at 5:48 amLexy, it will work fine, just don’t put the tortellini in until the last hour or so.
