🔀 Substitutions & Variations
- Chicken Tortellini Soup: Use shredded chicken, chicken broth, celery, and garnish with parsley.
- Spicy Italian Sausage Tortellini Soup: Replace sirloin with spicy sausage, add red pepper flakes, zucchini, and finish with fresh basil.
- Seafood Tortellini Soup: Swap sirloin for shrimp, use seafood broth, add fennel, and garnish with dill and lemon juice.
- Chicken Broth Or Vegetable Broth: Beef broth is recommended for flavor, but you can use Chicken Broth or vegetable broth as an alternative.
- Ground Turkey: Can be a flavorful substitute for ground beef in tortellini soup recipes, offering a leaner option while still providing a hearty taste.
- Garlic Substitute: If fresh minced garlic isn't available, garlic powder can be used instead.
- Ground Sausage: I used ground meat for this soup recipe, but you can opt for your choice of ground sausage. Mild Italian sausage is common in classic tortellini soup, but for better flavor, I suggest using chicken or turkey sausage.
