Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, casings removed)
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium carrots, sliced
• 2 stalks celery stalks, sliced
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 1 15-ounce can canned diced tomatoes (with juices)
• 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 10 ounces refrigerated cheese tortellini
• 2 cups baby spinach (optional)
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for garnish, optional)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the Italian sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove any excess grease if necessary.

Step 3

Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic, and cook until fragrant and softened, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the sliced carrots and celery, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices). Stir to combine.

Step 6

Add the dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Stir in the cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions, typically 3-5 minutes, until the pasta is tender.

Step 8

If using baby spinach, stir it in during the last 2 minutes of cooking, allowing it to wilt.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasonings, if needed.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley if desired.
