Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven
  • wooden spoon
  • cutting board
  • knife
  • measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks, until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the onion and garlic and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Add the tortellini, oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the tortellini is cooked through.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Notes

For a thicker, creamier soup, you can make a roux by cooking flour in the sausage fat before adding the broth and cream. This helps to stabilize the emulsion and create a velvety texture. You can also experiment with different types of sausage or cheese tortellini to vary the flavor profile.
