Sausage and Sweet Potato Tortellini Soup

Blue bowl full of tortellini sausage soup with a spoonful being taken out. You can see a roll broken in half in the background.I gotta tell ya! I really knocked it out of the park with this Sausage and Sweet Potato Tortellini Soup! It’s my new favorite soup this fall. I’m not the only one who loves it, my family loves it, too! Score! Tortellini soups are always a big hit with them. Even my picky eater gets excited with those fun noodles. Two of our other favorite fall soups are Italian Sausage Tortellini Soup and Chicken Tortellini with Veggies Soup. Have you tried them yet?

I got the idea for this Sausage and Sweet Potato Tortellini Soup from an Instagram poll that I took a few weeks ago. Most of the soups people listed as their favorites were ones I recognized, but I had never heard of Sausage and Sweet Potato Tortellini Soup before. The reader who listed it said she uses a recipe for it from Mel’s Kitchen Cafe. I had to go check it out. The one Mel makes is a creamy soup. I decided to go for more of a broth-tomato-based soup. I haven’t tried Mel’s yet, but I’m sure it’s delicious, too.

You can’t really go wrong with soup this time of year. I genuinely love having soup for dinner in the fall. Served up with some bread or rolls, it’s the ultimate form of comfort to me.

  • Olive Garden Pasta Fagioli
  • Thick and Creamy Potato and Ham Soup
  • Classic Taco Soup

Tips for making Sausage and Sweet Potato Tortellini Soup
  • Slice the sweet potatoes quite thin. They will break as they cook and give a nice texture to the soup.
  • Use frozen tortellini. It only takes four minutes to cook. Add the tortellini when the soup is boiling for best results.
  • If you like a little heat, use half mild and half hot sausage. For spicy, use all hot sausage.
  • Add spinach at the last minute, right before serving.
  • Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and crusty bread.
