Sausage and tortellini soup is the ultimate comfort food. The combination of sausage, vegetables, and spices are simply out of this world. There is nothing better, in terms of a comfort food, than soup on a rainy or cold day. There is just something about it that warms the soul. I always serve my soup up with some garlic bread. Fresh dinner rolls are so nice too. It is something your family and friends will love. Give it a try and let us know what you think.
Of course, you can alter many of the ingredients to suit your liking. For example, I use sweet Italian sausage, but you can use hot or the sausage of your choice. If you use your favourite sausage, it will make the world of difference. The spices you can change as well. If you are a garlic lover, add more. If you think the Italian seasoning is on the heavy side, back it off a bit.
I always serve my tortellini and sausage soup with Parmesan cheese and garnish it with parsley, but it is entirely up to you. I just think it adds that extra touch.
