Everyone talked about it for days, and it got better tasting as a leftover! Yum. Come on in and I’ll share the recipe with you.Â
Sausage and Tortellini Soup
I can’t tell you how much my family looks forward to our campfire soups! There is just something about sitting around a fire and enjoying food right off of it. Of course, this can be made indoors on the stove, too. Just grab a large pot and fill it up.

I’m going to give you my halved version of this recipe. It should still feed at least 8, but you won’t need a 12-quart pot. Â Feel free to double the recipe for a large crowd of 12 or more, but prepare yourself with a giant soup pot.
Here’s the recipe for you:

- 1 medium sweet onion chopped
- 24 oz. chicken broth

- 2 19 oz. cheese tortellini refrigerated
- 8 oz. fresh baby spinach
- 1 tsp. dried sweet basil
- 6 oz. of canned sliced mushrooms – drained
- ½ tsp. ground black pepper
- optional – shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- over med/high heat crumble sausage into the pot
- add the onion and cook until sausage is no longer pink and onion is tender
- Add the broth, water, tomatoes, and garlic
- Bring to a boil
- Add the tortellini, and bring back up to a boil
- Boil for about 5 minutes
