Notes

For a richer flavor, consider using a mix of hot and mild Italian sausage. If you prefer a thicker soup, you can mash some of the tortellini or add a cornstarch slurry during the last hour of cooking. Be sure to taste and adjust seasoning before serving, as the saltiness can vary significantly depending on the sausage and chicken broth you use.
