Notes

  • Chicken Tortellini Soup: Follow this Chicken Noodle Soup recipe and substitute tortellini for the egg noodles.
  • Sausage Tortellini Soup: Before sautéing the onion and carrots, brown 1 pound of Italian sausage, crumbling it as it cooks (remove the sausage from the casings before adding it to the pot). Once the sausage is cooked through, add the carrots and onions to the pot and continue with the recipe as written.
  • Creamy Tortellini Soup: When you add the kale, also slowly stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream.
