Ingredients

• 8 ounces Low-carb tortellini (made with cheese or almond flour pasta substitutes)
• 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, casing removed)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 6 cups Chicken broth (low sodium)
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Crushed tomatoes (no sugar added)
• 4 cups Spinach, fresh
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.

Step 2

Remove the cooked sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside. Leave about 1 tablespoon of fat in the pot for flavor; if needed, drain excess grease.

Step 3

Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken broth and crushed tomatoes. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the soup base to heat through but do not boil.

Step 6

Add the low-carb tortellini to the soup and cook according to the package instructions or until tender. Typically, this takes about 5-7 minutes but may vary depending on your chosen brand.

Step 7

Return the cooked sausage to the pot and stir in the fresh spinach. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts.

Step 8

Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 9

Serve the soup hot, garnished with Parmesan cheese. Enjoy a nutritious, low-carb, and delicious meal!
