This sausage tortellini soup has been our favorite ever since the cold weather has set in here in our place. There is nothing like a bowl of this creamy and flavorful broth to warm us up and comfort us during this season.

I am not really much of a soup fan. I used to only like the Asian hot and sour soup from the chinese buffet, and that is the only soup I ever craved. But when this sausage tortellini soup came into existence in my life, I was hooked.

Since trying it out the first time, this soup immediately became a family favorite.

The recipe is so versatile. You can use leafy vegetables other than cabbage, and it is still amazing. I love how the Italian sausage infuses the broth with so much flavor, and the crunch from the vegetables gives this tortellini soup contrasting textures that makes it so interesting.

It is, indeed, a soup with lots of substance. You don’t just sip a spoon of broth one after another. Every spoonful of this soup is packed with so much texture, flavor, and character. It is truly a keeper.

Sausage Tortellini Soup: Recipe Variations

• You can use spinach instead of cabbage.
• You can use all 2% milk, or all evaporated milk instead of a combination of the two.
• You can add more broth or milk to achieve your desired consistency for the broth.
• Experiment with other tortellini aside from cheese.

Love this soup better with a slice of this Chicken BBQ Pizza or this Cheese Tomato Gallete.
