How Did This Recipe Even Come About?
This Sausage Tortellini Soup is such a random recipe that ended up going viral (at least on my terms). It was not a planned meal, it was sort of just a compilation of all the ingredients I had left in my fridge and freezer. I had no idea if it would actually be good. Clearly I misjudged my proportions as well as you can see the soup is overflowing. The poor Sausage Tortellini Soup was hitting the brim! In the end though, the soup ended up being quite delicious and hearty. It had a good source of veggies, pastas, and salty meats.
There are some things I might have changed, maybe a bit less liquid because it was very soupy. I could probably omit the cream or milk, it didn’t add anything in my opinion. But overall, the Sausage Tortellini Soup was a 9/10 and great to get rid of any leftovers so you can add whatever veggies you have as long as the base of the soup is the same.
