Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb Italian sausage, casings removed (mild or hot)
1 yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups chicken broth
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 tsp Italian seasoning
9 oz refrigerated cheese tortellini
2 cups fresh spinach
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
Instructions
1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned. Drain excess grease if desired.
2. Add diced onion and cook 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
3. Pour in chicken broth and diced tomatoes with juices. Stir in Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Return soup to a boil, add tortellini, and cook according to package directions (about 7-9 minutes).
5. Turn off heat and stir in fresh spinach until wilted. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
6. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Add extra broth or water when reheating, as tortellini will absorb liquid. Not recommended for freezing. For a creamier version, stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream at the end.
