Creamy Tortellini Soup Ingredients:

This creamy tortellini soup is made of tortellini pasta, kielbasa sausage, fresh spinach, mirepoix (an onion, carrot, and celery mixture), low sodium broth, and heavy cream.

Mirepoix is a combination of aromatic vegetables for soups, stews, and braises that consists of chopped onions, celery, and carrots.

I prefer to chop the Mirepoix ingredients into finer pieces and cook them in the dutch oven with a small amount of olive oil or butter. In this more tender state, they can more effectively infuse the foods and flavors.

Kielbasa Sausage:

I also added Kiełbasa, a type of sausage originating across modern-day Poland and Ukraine. You can find Kielbasa sausages at any grocery store. I purchased a 4-pound bag of Kielbasa sausages with no nitrates at added at Costco for around $10.

Because some of the tortellini pasta filling and Kielbasa sausage you select the recipe may contain higher levels of sodium. On that note be sure to use low sodium chicken broth, and add some water if needed to balance out the flavor.

Add salt and pepper at the very end of cooking and only if you feel it’s really needed.

I only added ½ cup heavy cream into this creamy tortellini soup because thick soups, especially those made with starchy vegetables or pasta, may continue to thicken during cooking, storage and reheating.

Be sure to stir the soup from time to time throughout the cooking process, to prevent starchy ingredients from sticking to the bottom of the pot and for the best flavor, texture, and appearance.

Ingredients

 

• ▢ 12 oz tortellini pasta , (with or without fillings)
• ▢ 2 tbsp unsalted butter

• ▢ 4 cups of fresh spinach
• ▢ 1 cup sliced Kielbasa sausage

Optional:

• ▢ a pinch of nutmeg
• ▢ salt and pepper

Instructions

 

• Melt butter in a large dutch oven or pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, celery, and cook until tender for about 4 minutes. Add garlic and stir for a minute.
• Add flour, stir for about 3 minutes. Add broth and kielbasa sausage into the pot and simmer for about 5 minutes.

Notes

Tortellini are ring-shaped pasta, you can find them at any grocery market and usually come in different filling options, such as cheese, spinach, lobster, butternut squash, etc. For this recipe, I used Tortellini spinach. 

You may substitute an equal amount of heavy cream for half-and-half or milk.  Heavy creams contain more fat than half-and-half-creams and also more resistant to curdling, so they are a better choice in soups and sauces.
