Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 1 medium zucchini, diced
• 1 14.5-ounce can canned diced tomatoes (with juices)
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 10 ounces cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
• 3 cups baby spinach
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the Italian sausage to the pot, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set it aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.

Step 3

Add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 4

Stir in the zucchini and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 5

Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices), chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Return the cooked sausage to the pot. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and let simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Add the tortellini to the pot and cook according to the package instructions, typically 3-5 minutes, until tender.

Step 8

Stir in the baby spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve hot, topped with grated parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy!
