A DELICIOUSLY HEARTY SOUP
Y’all, I tested this recipe for Creamy Tuscan Sausage Tortellini Soup several times to make sure I had the seasonings just right. I had originally thought this recipe would just be with the cheese tortellini but I wanted to make it a bit more heartier and filling. So I added Italian sausage to it and it took it over the top! It’s a guaranteed winner and it’s all thanks to perfectly cooked sausages made in my Johnsonville Sizzling Sausage Grill. You may have seen me use this indoor electric grill for my Sausage Baked Beans as well as Italian Sausage and Peppers.
CREAMY TUSCAN SOUP
This time I used the Johnsonville sausage grill to make this delicious soup. I know it will cook the sausages perfect every time but it also frees me up so I can get started on the soup while the sausages cook. I don’t have to worry about flipping them or accidentally burning the outside while the inside is still raw.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
- Johnsonville Mild Italian sausages
- olive oil
- onion
- garlic
- salt
- pepper
- Italian seasoning
- white beans
- fire roasted diced tomatoes with garlic
- chicken stock
- cheese tortellini
- heavy cream (or milk)
- baby spinach
HOW TO MAKE CREAMY TUSCAN SAUSAGE TORTELLINI SOUP:
Place five Johnsonville Italian sausages in your Johnsonville Sizzling Sausage Grill. Shut the lid (making sure the it clicks closed.) Then turn on the red power button. UPDATED TO ADD: Since this grill is no longer available to purchase, you can simply brown the sausages according to the package directions (in a skillet.)
The grill will begin cooking the sausages to perfection thanks to the internal thermometer. It will beep when the sausages are perfectly cooked.
Allow the sausages to cool slightly, then slice.
In a large pot over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Season with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Stir in white beans, diced tomatoes, and chicken stock.
Bring to a gentle boil and add tortellini and sliced sausages. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tortellini is cooked and flavors start to meld, 18 to 20 minutes.
Stir in heavy cream. Cook for an additional 5 minutes. Finally, stir in spinach and cook until spinach has wilted (about 2-3 minutes.)
Taste-test soup for any additional seasoning (careful – it’s hot!) and add in additional salt, pepper or Italian seasoning, if necessary.
Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

This soup looks beyond wonderful – I am going to make it for me and my daughters this weekend while their Dad is away hunting.
Nowhere do you say when to add the meat. I would assume it would be when you added in the cream/milk.
Thank you!
