This Quick Tomato Basil Soup with Tortellini and Sausage is made using Mutti tomato products. It’s quick, easy and super delicious!
Can you ever really have too many soup recipes in your arsenal? I sure don’t think so. This Quick Tomato Basil Soup with Tortellini and Sausage might be one of my favorite recipes to-date.
I know I say that often about recipes … but maybe that just means I’m getting better with each recipe!
Tortellini was always my favorite kind of pasta growing up, and I’d jump for joy every time I heard it was what’s for dinner. That’s probably one of the reasons I love this soup recipe so stinkin’ much. It’s like the soup version of my favorite childhood meal … with added protein of course.
On top of that, I made this soup using Mutti tomato products. I was so excited for the opportunity to work with them because I always pick their tomato products out of the large variety at the grocery store. I have found that their products are richer, redder, better!
Plus, one of my favorite product of theirs is a re-closeable tube of tomato paste … because when do you ever use the whole can on one recipe?!
If you’re not a meat eater, this recipe is also great if you leave the sausage out.
I found that Quick Tomato Basil Soup with Tortellini and Sausage is also even better as leftovers! If you don’t want the tortellini to get too soft, store it separately after boiling it, then stir the tortellini in the soup when you’re reheating.
