Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Slice the vegetarian sausage into bite-sized pieces. Add them to the pot and sauté for 4-5 minutes until browned. Remove the sausage from the pot and set it aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion, minced garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and the onions are translucent.

Step 4

Pour in the vegetable broth and canned diced tomatoes with their juice. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.

Step 6

Stir in the fresh spinach and let it wilt for about 2 minutes.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Return the browned vegetarian sausage to the soup and let it heat through for 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with grated parmesan cheese and fresh basil, if desired.
