One of my all time favorite things of Fall, is SOUP. I love how you can make a big pot of delicious soup… like THIS one. The best is to freeze the other half for another meal for the week or in individual containers to freeze to take out for lunches! This Easy Sausage Spinach Tortellini Soup will be on repeat I guarantee. This easy soup was actually one of the most popular recipes on HGHF to date last year. Needless to say, get your soup pot out right now and let’s get to this easy dinner!
What makes this Easy Sausage Spinach Tortellini Soup, EASY?
This is a recipe where you can dump ingredients in and walk away until the very end. Can I get a heck yes, easy dinner! I think so. I mean I live for recipes like that in the Fall. We actually made this soup, drove to a local nature reserve park ( someone was home don’t worry) let it meld and came back, poured into bowls and devoured!
Can I make it Dairy Free and Gluten Free?
Yes! Using the arrow root actually is a gluten free option from corn starch for a thicker. It is actually easier on your digestive system to ingest. Then grab your favorite gluten free tortellinis and enjoy!
In order to make it dairy free, use your favorite DF half & half or omit the half & half all together.

- ^^ if you don’t have that I would do 1/4 paprika oregano, chili powder — however that spice is phenomenal! Worth purchasing
- 1 tbsp arrow root powder + 2 tbsp warm water
- 1/2 cup Half & Half
Instructions
- In a 6 quart or bigger soup pot add in the olive oil & turn it to medium heat. (linked one like mine, that is my favorite here) Then add in the diced onion & minced garlic. Let that simmer & brown from 3-4 minutes. Then add in the sliced chicken sausages. Cook in onion & garlic for a few minutes, then add 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp basil & 1 tsp salt on top of the chicken sausages. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, mixing the seasoning around the sausage.
- Then add in tomato sauce, roasted tomatoes, chicken broth, 1/2 basil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder & 1 tsp of the Chile Con Carne seasoning. Stir in seasoning, with the tomato sauces, broth & chicken sausages. Then bring to a boil & cover, then reduce to simmer. Let simmer for at least 1 hour, 2-3 if you can.
- Then add in tortellini & bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer again for 5 minutes, to allow tortellini to cook. Then reduce to low heat. Add in half & half and 1 cup spinach broken apart & the can of drained beans. Next, put 1 tbsp arrowroot in small glass dish & add 2 tbsp warm water, then mix until throughly combined. Then add in arrow root to the soup, turn up the heat to medium (not boiling) & figure 8 the arrow root into the soup until desired thickness (about 1 minute or 2). Then let simmer on low until ready to serve!
- When ready cut up fresh basil on top of the soup & add cheese on top like parmesan etc!

Thank you! Yes!! One of my favorites! Cannot wait for you to make this Fall.
Made this for dinner last night and it was SO good
Ah yay Kaitlyn!! I am so glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for commenting!
This is DELICIOUS!!! I’m gluten free and made it with some gf tortellinis I found at Whole Foods. It’s creamy without being too heavy. Perfect for cold nights! Can’t wait to eat this all week.
OH yay!! I am so glad GF tortellinis worked so well for you guys!! Yay!! Thanks for sharing!
Any chance you can provide the name or link for the spice? I don’t see the link.
Hi Audrey!! That Chili Con Carne seasoning is in the bulk section of the spices in a lot of your local grocers! Here is one that I found online from Whole Foods! Mine is discontinued that I normally use– will get this one when out of my old one!

So easy & so delish!!!! Substituted the chicken sausage links for hot smoked sausage and it was amazing!!!
Oh that is such a good idea!! I will do that next time! Thanks Grace for commenting :)!
This is my all time favorite HGHF recipe!! It is a hit with anyone I make it for. We cannot get enough of it at our house!!
That makes my heart so happy!! How HGHF started was my mission to be able to share these recipes with your loved ones and cannot be more thrilled that you are doing that. Thank you so much!!
I remember when Alaina first launched this recipe and all my friends were raving about it. I knew I had to make and absolutely agree with everyone. It’s so delicious and full of flavor!
hahaha yay!!! I am so glad it lived up to the hype for you too 🙂 Thanks for making this in your house!
I made most of this dish on Sunday and then finished everything in Midday for dinner in less than 15 minutes. Talk about a quick dinner! My family is just 2 people, so I saved half the tomato soup/chicken sausage in the freezer for another time. By saving half, that meant I didn’t need to reserve half the can of beans for later, so we added the whole can of beans to the half portion. That worked out perfectly. I also added more spinach.
I used corn starch instead of arrowroot powder and it still thickened up appropriately.
ah yay!!! I am so excited to hear about being able to do this in increments & being able to save half for another time! thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review!
