• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 medium Carrots, diced
• 2 medium Celery stalks, diced
• 14.5 oz Canned diced tomatoes (no salt added)
• 6 cups Low-sodium chicken broth

• 9 oz Fresh tortellini (cheese-filled, low-fat if available)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Remove the casings from the chicken sausage, if necessary, and crumble the sausage into the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion, minced garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 4

Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, dried basil, and dried oregano. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 5

Lower the heat to a simmer and add the cooked sausage back into the pot. Simmer the soup for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.

Step 6

Add the chopped spinach and tortellini to the pot. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the tortellini is tender and fully cooked.

Step 7

Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
