    Great for the Budget Ingredients

    ingredients for tortellini soup on a countertop

    I love to make hearty meals with budget ingredients. This dish uses low cost ingredients like one pound of Italian sausage and one bag of frozen tortellini. This is less than $7 for the primary ingredients for soup that makes eight servings!

    Imagine a meal for your family, great for kids and easy on the budget, with each serving costing less than $2 each.

    How to Serve

    This soup is so hearty that you won’t need anything else. You can serve with crusty bread or crackers. Maybe a side salad, but you won’t need it. You can get all the vegetables you need in each serving.

    Can I Cook This Soup on the Stove?

    Yes! Begin sauteeing the sausage and vegetables as you would for the Instant Pot. Bring it to a boil then add the tortellini and cook according to the package instructions.

    Remove from heat then stir in the half n half and spinach. Cover to let the spinach wilt a bit, about 10 minutes, then serve.

    How to Store Tortellini Soup

    You can store this in the refrigerator for 3-5 days and heat easily on the stove or in the microwave.

    The pasta will soak up more liquid when stored, so be aware that the texture may change.

    If you don’t have an Instant Pot, have a look at this 6-Quart Instant Pot (aff link) which we use. We’ve had it for several years and it still works great.

    Notes

    Garnish with chopped green onion, grated Parmesan, a spoon of sour cream and saltines, as desired.
    This soup is quite hearty and works all on its own but you could also serve it with a small side salad, if desired.

    Yes! Begin sauteeing the sausage and vegetables as you would for the Instant Pot. Bring it to a boil then add the tortellini and cook according to the package instructions. Remove from heat then stir in the half n half and spinach. Cover to let the spinach wilt a bit, about 10 minutes, then serve.
