Ingredients
- ½ onion, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- ½ carton mushrooms, sliced
- 1 head kale, chopped

A One-Pot Soup That Eats Like a Full Meal
This Italian sausage tortellini soup is the kind of meal that checks every box—hearty, comforting, and packed with bold, slow-simmered flavor without the all-day effort.
Built on a rich tomato base with Italian Stallion Tomato Sauce Mix, loaded with vegetables, sausage, and tender tortellini, it’s the perfect one-pot dinner for busy nights or cold days.
Preparation:
- Heat a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks.
- Add onion, bell pepper, celery, and mushrooms. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
- Stir in the Italian Stallion Tomato Sauce Mix, followed by the diced tomatoes and one can of water. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Add chopped kale and tortellini. Simmer for another 5–7 minutes, until the tortellini are tender and floating.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot.
Pro Tip:
Let the soup rest for a few minutes before serving—this helps the broth thicken slightly and allows the flavors to fully come together. A drizzle of olive oil right before serving adds a nice finishing richness. Don't skimp on the grated parmesan!
Make It Your Own:
- Swap kale for spinach or escarole
- Use spicy sausage for a little heat
- Add white beans for extra heartiness
- Finish with grated parmesan or a pinch of red pepper flakes
What To Serve It With:
Serve with crusty bread for dipping, a simple green salad, or a sprinkle of parmesan on top. This one’s hearty enough to stand on its own but plays well with anything fresh and simple on the side.
