Do you love eating soup all year long?  We don’t discriminate just because it’s 90 degrees out and  we just fired up the grill the night before. We are ready for soup all year long. And let me tell you this rich and hearty soup that eats like a meal is a perfect soup for a chilly weeknight meal or a light cup of soup with a summer salad. 

How easy is it to make this soup? 

This Tortellini Sausage Soup is pretty easy to make! As usual always pull out all your ingredients and set them on your counter so your ready to cook. This will save so much time. Once you get in the habit of doing this you will never go back to the old way of doing things. I never thought I would be able to get organized by getting all our ingredients out on the counter from the pantry and fridge but after doing this a few time I was hooked. It will make all your cooing easier! 

We add kale to this soup. You can use spinach instead if you like. We tend to use whatever we have on hand. They both work well and are just as delicious as the other. Sometimes we use both! Whatever we have on hand we use. It’s a great way to clean out the fridge.

Can you freeze this soup?

Honestly, we freeze soup all the time. We love having soup in the freezer for those nights when you don’t feel like cooking. 

This Tortellini Sausage Soup is a great winter soup to create a hearty and delicious meal. With the cold weather approaching, you’ll find comfort in this recipe since it’s so simple to create!
