A creamy tomato sauce is probably one of my favorite options for both pasta and soup recipes, like in my 30-minute chicken gnocchi skillet recipe. The fresh four-cheese tortellini is the perfect centerpiece for this soup, complemented by Italian sausage, fresh spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes, all blanketed in a velvety rich, creamy tomato sauce. You’re going to want more than one bowl of this soup; I promise you that! This is also a soup you can put together fairly quickly. In under 30 minutes, you’ll have this rich and creamy soup ready to serve.

Ingredients for creamy tomato tortellini soup

  • 1 pound ground sweet Italian sausage
  • 12 cups chicken broth (96 oz)
  • 7 cups fresh cheese tortellini

  • 3 oz sun-dried tomatoes
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • Freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional)

How to make creamy tomato tortellini soup recipe

  1. In a skillet, cook the sweet Italian sausage, drain, and set aside. 
  2. In a large stockpot or dutch oven, add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the tortellini and boil for 7 minutes. 
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low, add in the heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, cooked sweet Italian sausage, salt, basil, and tomato sauce. Stir to combine and simmer for 15 minutes. Make sure it does not continue to boil. If needed, reduce heat to low.

Recipe FAQs and Variations

Can you freeze tortellini soup?

Because this soup has fresh tortellini pasta, it’s not recommended to freeze. The tortellini pasta would not thaw and reheat very well, losing its structure. Instead, you can refrigerate any leftovers for up to 3-5 days.

How long will tortellini soup last?

You can refrigerate creamy tomato tortellini soup for up to 3-5 days.

How do I cook packaged tortellini?

Follow the directions in this recipe for cooking the packaged tortellini. The key is not to over-boil the tortellini to the point in which they split open. Watch them carefully as they’re boiling and reduce heat if needed.

Recipe Variations

  • For a dairy-free creamy tomato tortellini soup option, swap in canned coconut milk for the heavy cream, use sausage tortellini instead of cheese, and omit the parmesan cheese or use a dairy-free alternative.

    This is one of the best soups I have made in a long time. My husband isn’t a big fan of pastas or red sauce, but his words when he took his first bite of this soup were “This is a really dang good soup!” The addition of heavy cream takes out the acidity of the tomato sauce and makes for a smooth, comforting soup. Definitely a favorite at our house!
