Sweet Italian Sausage Tortellini Soup Recipe
Perfect for easy entertaining, this Sweet Italian Sausage Tortellini Soup Recipe is easy to make ahead, and add tortellini right before serving!
Over the holidays, we had dinner with our dear friends—friends we’ve known for years. I hate to say “old” friends, but we’ve been friends for more years than we can count.
They invited us to their table.
Jason recently launched a new series that he has written called “Table,” a 21st century take on Jeffersonian dinners, meant to bring together big minds to solve big problems, and feature a delicious food as part of the project. It’s brilliant!
They discuss a single topic and try to come up with a solution that creates a public good.
The “table” is a way to bring dissimilar viewpoints together, in an effort to understand, if not resolve, differences! Friends, is this not needed right now, in our communities and world?
I believe that deep down, we all share the same desires for our everyday living. We want to feed our families a nourishing meal, we want to invite people into our homes, to share our stories, listen, and connect.
When Jason showed us the “Grace” episode, he brought 8 uncommonly diverse people together, and asked them one question about graciousness. I hope you have time to check it out!
In this episode, Jason says: Is there a time in your life when you’ve experienced grace, in just the right time?
Beautiful.
Sweet Italian Sausage Tortellini Soup Recipe
Jason’s wife, Steph, whipped up a double batch of Italian Sausage Tortellini Soup, right from the Epicurean Kitchen, and then we sat around the table.
I remade it at home using DeLallo products (pizza sauce–great flavor–and their 3-cheese tortellini).
Super Easy TIP
What I love about this recipe is soup can be prepared 2 days ahead (minus the tortellini). Cover and refrigerate. Bring to simmer before continuing, and add the tortellini right before serving!
I’d love to hear your thoughts on this new idea, with so much possiblity!
Watch out Food Network, Jason’s “Table” is coming for you! :)

Hi sandy! Read ur blog and really lovvved what u had 2 say. I m terribly reluctant about entertaing. Its not just that u hav 2 cuk…but u hav 2 clean before and after the party. And do all the running around during the party. Must say u r 1 energetic lady. A big kitchen with lottts of counter space and the right tools seems a must 2 me. What about the fact that the children’s studies get disturbed if u socialise a lot during their school years?
Making a simple recipe, having your guests pitch in and bring something, makes it super easy! Don’t worry about your house being perfect. We usually entertained during the weekends when our kids were in school! :)
Yummy soup…just pinned it. Watching one of the “table” episodes right now…so good! Very interesting and engaging!
