Ingredients

• 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, casings removed)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium Carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 medium Celery stalks, diced
• 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes
• 6 cups Chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 10 ounces Cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
• 3 cups Fresh spinach
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 0 to taste Parmesan cheese, grated (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil and Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until the sausage is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Add the cooked sausage back to the pot along with the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 4

Bring the soup to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 5

Add the cheese tortellini to the pot and cook according to the package instructions, typically 5-7 minutes, until the tortellini are tender.

Step 6

Stir in the fresh spinach and let it wilt, about 2 minutes. Then, pour in the heavy cream and mix well to create a creamy broth.

Step 7

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 8

Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy your hearty, comforting bowl of Sausage Tortellini Soup!
