Sausage Tortellini Soup

Last Updated on November 13, 2019 by Chef Mireille

This week’s BM theme is to recreate a few of the top 100 recipes from Taste of Home’s website. We are now in what is traditionally the coldest month of the year if you live in the northeastern United States. What is better than a warm, comforting bowl of soup when the temperature outside your door is below freezing. With a few minor changes, I adapted this recipe for a filling and balanced soup. Carbs, veggies and protein combine into the perfect one pot meal in this soup.

At this time of year, one can never have enough soup recipes under your belt. Today’s low temperature was 18 degrees and tomorrow’s is 3 degrees Farenheit. I am planning on not leaving the house unless absolutely necessary. It’s good that I have plenty of ingredients to eat soup the whole weekend.

Sausage Tortellini Soup
