This sausage tortellini soup is filling and delicious. My husband (who doesn’t think soup is a meal) loved it and had seconds…. and thirds. The kids gobbled it up. It’s just a perfect hearty soup with sausage as the star! What’s not to love about a soup with sausage, cheese and noodles…oh yeah, and spinach! 🙂 (And how can a soup with all that NOT be considered a meal?! )
The weather is getting chilly and crisp. I LOVE soup making weather! This one’s a keeper.

Delicious soup except that I found it way to greasy with olive oil, two kinds of fatty sausage and then butter. Don’t get me wrong, I love fat and butter, but this was too much for me.
I browned the sausage and kielbasa without any oil in a nonstick pan and used only a touch of butter at the end.
My son and I love this soup but not that level of fattiness. Thanks for sharing it with everyone!
I will have to try that next time. Thanks for the ideas.
