Take-out Tuesday, Spinach, Sausage & Tomato Tortellini Soup with Panini Toasts
Soup season has officially begun
and I’m sharing a wonderful soup to kick things off!
This irresistible soup can be made on the stove top,
in the instant pot, or in a slow cooker
This beautiful presentation is brought to you by my son, the “Chef”
When he is creating in the kitchen
I love to follow him around with my camera so I can share his recipes
He made cheesy tomato panini toasts for dipping
that are swoonworthy!
He made this soup in our Instant Pot
and started by browning the sausage with the saute function
Once the sausage is browned,
push it to the side and use a paper towel
to soak up excess grease
{be careful not to burn your hand}
Turn the instant pot to slow cook mode
Add tomato soup, chicken broth and diced tomatoes
Cover and set the pot to cook for 6-8 hours
About 30 minutes before you want to eat, add the cream cheese
Stir to get it to start melting
Then stir in the spinach and add the uncooked tortellini*
He used refrigerated tortellini
{if you want to use dry tortellini you will need to boil it first
or try adding it earlier, but I haven’t done that so not sure}
Put the lid back on and cook for 30 more minutes
Put soup in bowls, top with Parmesan
and add Cheesy Tomato Panini Toasts for dipping
