Italian Sausage and Tortellini Soup

I have been making this soup for about 30 years, my families favourite! I use hot Italian sausage and make a double batch right away, left overs seem to get better each day. Definitely try this recipe!

This has been our go-to Christmas lunch soup for years. I could eat it once a week, but we just make it on Christmas to keep it special.

This soup is very good..... every time I make it people ask me for recipe! I would just add some fresh thyme. I usually make more changes but not needed!

I regularly go to Epicurious looking for highly rated recipes to try. Very rarely am I disappointed, but this recipe was not good. So very basic and bland. Do not waste your time with this one...

跟着食谱(用辣sausa除外ge) and left out carrot (not a fan). Good, hearty soup. I would definitely use fresh herbs next time. 2 Tbsp of dry seemed excessive. Some sort of green leafy would be a nice addition. I like the use of fresh veg, and vino of course. Definitely will keep around for hearty soups.

This is the best soup as is. No changes need to be done. Hearty soup, great rich sausage flavor. Leftovers are awesome too!

I’ve made this a few times — exactly per the recipe, substituting spinach for zucchini, or using spinach AND zucchini. I use about 1 T each of dried leaf basil and dried oregano. The soup has been excellent each time and gets rave reviews. It’s easy and delicious.

I, like several other reviewers, believe 2 tablespoons each of dried basil and dried oregano must be a mistake. I used half that amount and the flavor of the broth was not tatsty. I would expect it was suppose to be fresh herbs not dry. It would be helpful if this could be corrected for future cooks.

This is fantastic, a go to recipe hands down. It has everything that I like, simple, tons of flavor and filling can't say enough good about this one.

This recipe is amazing... I made it with the tortellini, but if I wanted to save some calories i would omit it. Nonetheless, it's so flavorful and it tasted even better the next day. I'm already thinking of making it again next week! I added fresh basil in the tail end of cooking to give it extra flavor and I also added fresh spinach to the soup. It was amazing all around.

This became an instant classic in our home. I went looking for a recipe that was sufficient enough to be a complete dinner, but would be easy on my cold-ridden husband. This was perfect. I enhanced it by adding parmesan rinds to the stock and finishing with some fresh basil, but there's no doubt this would still be amazing without those extras. Recipe is uncomplicated and ingredients are easy to come by.

What takes this soup from good to spectacular is swapping the huge amounts of dried herbs with reasonable amounts of fresh herbs. Two tablespoons each of dried oregano and basil?!? Oh, no no no. That's got to be a mistake. Not only is it way too much, but using dried herbs gives it such a fakey store-bought flavor. If you're going to go to all the trouble of chopping fresh vegetables and maybe even using your own stock, you'll be so much happier with this soup if you use fresh herbs. Other than that, I swapped two smallish summer squash for the zucchini, which I hate. Excellent soup and a go-to all year long.
