I’ve always loved soup, especially when pasta is involved, and over the years I’ve made my own version of what I call “kitchen sink tortellini soup,” a pot of broth, pasta and whatever vegetables need rescuing from the fridge.
This is one of those recipes that reminds me that soup can be speedy. Sure, it's great if you have all day to let something simmer on the stove, but it's also good to have a streamlined version that comes together in 30 minutes but is still packed with flavor. "I wanted a hearty, cozy dinner that felt special but came together fast—and my family loves anything with tortellini, Brown tells Parade. "I’m all about meals that are quick, comforting, and don’t leave a sink full of dishes."
Here's how it went when I made this dish in my kitchen, plus everything you need to know to make it at your place.

What Is Tortellini Soup?

Tortellini soup is a broth-based soup built around tender, stuffed pasta. Instead of noodles or rice, cheese- or meat-filled tortellini becomes the star, adding richness and texture to the soup. This Tuscan-style version keeps things classic and approachable. There's no stock to build, no long list of ingredients or complicated steps and the pasta cooks right in the tomatoey broth.

This recipe uses ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. To make it, you'll need olive oil, onion, garlic, ground Italian sausage, crushed tomatoes, Italian-style stewed tomatoes, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, cheese tortellini, fresh spinach and shredded cheese.

How To Make Tuscan Tortellini Soup
Everything happens in one pot.
First, warm your olive oil and add the onion and garlic. Once the vegetables soften, add the Italian sausage, breaking it apart as it cooks.

Next, add in the tomatoes, broth and Italian seasoning. When the mixture comes to a boil, add in the tortellini. The pasta cooks directly in the broth, thickening it slightly and absorbing the flavor. Brown used fresh tortellini, but I used frozen, so mine had to cook a little longer, which I didn't mind. It was still done faster than you'd think for soup.

My Honest Thoughts About This Tuscan Tortellini Soup
This recipe is fast, filling and genuinely satisfying, plus it's super easy. The texture is especially good. The broth is rich without being thick, the tortellini is tender and the sausage adds just enough heft to make it feel like a complete meal.

I'll make this again and often, especially during cold weeks when comfort matters more than culinary ambition.
One of the best things about tortellini soup is how adaptable it is. You can swap sausage for rotisserie chicken, ground turkey or leave it out entirely for a vegetarian version. Kale or Swiss chard works beautifully in place of spinach, adding heartiness and color.
For a heartier version, add a splash of dairy. "Cream makes it extra cozy, and white beans or mushrooms are great if you want to bulk it up a bit," shares Brown. You could also add zucchini or bell peppers, especially if you’re trying to use up vegetables, which is the very spirit of my “kitchen sink” version.

If you want to freeze the dish, Brown suggests using a slightly different method. "I’d wait to add the tortellini until reheating, so it doesn’t get too soft or soggy," she says.
