Cook’s Note – Creamy Tomato Tortellini Soup:
- If you don’t like Italian sausage, then you can leave it out altogether or use chicken instead.
- Where I live in Japan fresh herbs are wicked expensive ($4 for a ¼ ounce of basil!). I started growing my own herbs at home to offset the costs. Whether fresh basil is wicked expensive where you live or if you don’t have any on hand, you can use 2 teaspoons of dried basil in its place. Just add it to the pot when you add in the Italian seasoning.
Cook’s Tools:
- soup pot
- wooden spoon
- Parmesan cheese grater
- soup ladle

- 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

LaDonna DeaJardin says
Recipe is great. I used fresh tomatoes, stewing them first, added a carrot and two stalks of celery, then used the immersion blender. Also since we like spice, used hot Italian sausage. My pickiest eater is on his second bowl. Thank you.
Lesley says
Why am I longing a plate with paper towel?? The recipe never says what to do with that. Am I missing something??
Jillian says
Sorry about that. It’s for draining the Italian sausage. I fixed the recipe to reflect that.
