Ingredients

• 10 ounces Gluten-free tortellini
• 1 pound Italian sausage (gluten-free, mild or spicy)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion, diced
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium Carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 stalks Celery stalks, sliced
• 14 ounces Crushed tomatoes (canned)
• 6 cups Chicken broth (gluten-free)
• 3 cups Baby spinach
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0 to taste Parmesan cheese (optional for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil.

Step 2

Add the gluten-free Italian sausage (removed from casings if applicable) to the pot. Cook, breaking the sausage into crumbles with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through (5-7 minutes). Remove the sausage from the pot and set it aside on a plate.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion, minced garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and the onions are translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 5

Add the browned sausage back into the pot along with the gluten-free tortellini. Simmer for 5-7 minutes or until the tortellini is tender and cooked through (follow the package instructions for precise cooking time).

Step 6

Stir in the baby spinach and let it wilt for 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and top with shredded Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve hot.
