Easy Weeknight Meal: Tortellini Soup
The recipe has been floating around the web for years now. This is one of the quickest, easiest weeknight (or any night) meals out there. I had the pleasure of tasting this soup for the first time over a year ago. A friend of mine made it for a neighbor and lucky for me, there was plenty leftover. When I ask her for the recipe she referred me to this one. I was surprised how easy it was.
Here’s your shopping list for this meal.
- 1 pound turkey sausage
- 1 onion
- 2 32oz containers chicken broth
- 28oz can diced tomatoes
- 9 oz package cheese tortellini
- 1 bag baby spinach
- grated parmesan cheese
- spices – dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper
Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add your chopped onion. Remove the turkey sausage from casein and add to pan. Cook until onions are tender and sausage is cooked through.
Next, add you garlic powder, dried oregano, tomatoes, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil.
Add you tortellini and cook for about 7 minutes. Add your spinach and stir until cooked.
This meal takes at the most 30 minutes from start to finish. I finished off the meal with a slice of garlic bread.

Deliciousness! I am a huge soup fan, and I believe I’ve made one very similar to this. I always love your bowls/plates.
Awe… Thank you Kelli 🙂
This is a favorite here! I make it without meat!
I’d probably make my own tortellini but your dish looks SO good. Yumm!!
perfect meal for tonite…it’s so chilly here in San Diego!
I used to make this all the time and then forgot all about it – thanks for reminding me! It really is delicious 🙂
This looks amazingly delicious! Tony really misses tortellini. I need to come up with a good substitute for it. The boys would go crazy over this!
mmmm, i’m all about easy weeknight meals especially soup in the winter! yes please 🙂
I am so in need of quick and easy meal ideas right now. Thanks for this! I’m going to put it on my meal plan for next week.

This is my first time on your site and everything is so beautiful! ^^ The recipe is so simple but it looks quite fancy.
Had this for dinner tonight and it was a hit! I used organic chicken sausage links that I sliced. Very tasty.
