A delicious and comforting creamy tortellini soup that’s perfect for cozy nights.

Ingredients

Scale

  1. Cook the sausage: In a large pot over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and the Italian sausage. Break it apart with a wooden spoon and cook until brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

  6. Pour in the cream: Lower the heat and slowly pour in the heavy cream. Stir well.
  7. Season and serve: Taste the soup, adding salt, pepper, and nutmeg as desired.
  8. Garnish with parsley or Parmesan just before serving.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut milk. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
