Since it was a cold and rainy day today I decided to make a big pot of soup. The Italian sausage really gave the soup a nice flavor and made the broth extra rich and delicious. I loved the combination of flavors and textures in this soup. I think this may be one of my new favorite soups... it was so good!Turkey Italian Sausage and Cheese Tortellini Soup:
Recipe and photos by For the Love of Cooking.net
- 1-2 tsp olive oil
- 5 turkey Italian sausages, removed from casing and formed into small balls
- 1 small onion, diced
- 4 stalks of celery, diced
- 4-5 carrots, peeled and diced
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- 9 oz package of cheese tortellini
- 8 cups of chicken broth
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Remove the turkey Italian sausage from casings and pinch off little pieces and roll into small balls. Repeat with the remaining sausage. Place the balls into the Dutch oven and cook, stirring often to prevent sticking, for 1-2 minutes. Remove the balls to a bowl, set aside. Add a bit more olive oil to the Dutch oven if needed then add the onion, celery, and carrots. Cook, stirring often, making sure to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, for 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the chicken broth and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the turkey Italian sausage balls and their juices to the soup as well as the cheese tortellini. Cook for 10 minutes then add the spinach and basil. Taste and re-season if needed. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
