Notes: This is the perfect comfort soup for cold days and chilly evenings! It is so simple to whip up in just 30 minutes and is one of our favorites to prepare when cooking for friends. Serve with homemade french bread or fresh rolls for the ultimate comfort meal!
Storage: Soup will keep in the fridge in an airtight container for about 3 to 5 days. If you are planning on storing in the freezer, hold off on adding the tortellini--the pasta doesn’t freeze well and will get mushy when reheating. Freeze the soup in an airtight container without the tortellini; when ready to eat, boil some fresh tortellini while you reheat your soup. Then combine the two and you’ll have fresh (not soggy!) sausage and tortellini soup in no time.
