Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Italian sausage
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons basil
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons flour
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 28 ounce can whole tomatoes
  • 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 15 ounce can tomato sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
  • 9 ounce package of cheese tortellini
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  • In a large Dutch oven, brown sausage. Once it has browned, about 5 minutes, drain excess fat if needed.
  • Melt butter in the pot. Add onions cook on medium-high heat for 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
  • Add garlic, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and flour to the pot and cook one minute on medium heat. Stirring frequently.
  • Slowly add in chicken stock while stirring so the flour doesn't clump.
  • Add the can of whole tomatoes to the pot. Break up the whole tomatoes with a potato masher or fork until only chunks remain. Add remaining cans of crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and brown sugar.
  • Bring to a roaring boil and then simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add in the cheese tortellini and cook according to package directions.
  • Once the tortellini has cooked through, turn off the heat and stir in heavy whipping cream.

Notes

  • Serve this soup with parmesan cheese on top.
  • Use the 9 ounce tortellini or 20 ounce tortellini package, depending on how much you want in the soup.
  • If you want to add more vegetables, try: celery, carrots, and spinach.
  • Be careful not to overcook the tortellini. Check on it often once you add it to the pot.
