Break into crumbles and drain excess grease if needed. Add the onion and cook for 3–4 minutes, until softened. Stir in garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes; cook 30 seconds. Pour in chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in heavy cream and return to a low simmer. Add tortellini and cook according to package directions (usually 5–7 minutes).

Frozen tortellini works well — add 1–2 extra minutes to the cooking time and simmer gently until tender. Is this soup spicy? With mild Italian sausage, it’s not spicy.

For best results, freeze the soup before  adding the tortellini and cream. Add those fresh when reheating to maintain the best texture. How to Serve Serve with crusty bread, garlic knots, or a fresh green salad. This soup is hearty enough to be a full meal but pairs beautifully with lighter sides.
