Creamy Tomato, and Spicy Sausage Tortellini Soup

You guys this recipe is seriously so good. Fall time is my favorite because it means I can eat soup all week long if I want to and no one can judge me. Fall =Soup Season for me.

Before you start cooking this recipe I highly recommend reading the instructions first. It goes fast.

I LOVE spicy things so I always add spicy Italian sausage and pepper flakes. However, if you want a mild soup just swap it out for sweet Italian sausage.
