They say never grocery shop when you are hungry! I will go one step further and say if you are not comfortable experimenting in the kitchen, never go on Pinterest when you’re hungry or ill-stocked. This Creamy Italian Sausage Soup With Cheese Tortellini happened all because I ended up on Pinterest and got inspired by 3 recipes and then fell into the Pinterest rabbit hole and couldn’t remember where I found what!
There is something about Italian Sausage and tortellini that makes my heart skip a beat. Though not as helpful when I’m in high-protein training diet mode but in this instance, I added some spinach to help with adding protein! This Italian Sausage soup meal is perfect for cheat days or those busy weekday nights! Did I mention the kids like it?

Thanks!!! Hubby saw tortellini on sale at Superstore and went crazy (I think he bought like 6 3-packs) so I’ve been watching for tortellini recipes. 🙂 This looks yummy! I’ll print it to try next week. 🙂
This looks amazing. I’m definitely going to have to try this. May even be able to get the 4 yo to give it a go, as he’s been interested in (the idea of) soups lately.
Mmmmm, I could go for a bowl of that for lunch today, looks very good!!
I love finding easy recipes that are different and unique. I wonder if this would work with a beef or turkey sausage.
Ooh that looks delicious! I have to make this! ?
