Ingredients

  • 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 (9-ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 3 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (for garnish)

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned. Break it into small pieces as it cooks, then drain excess grease if necessary.

  2. 2

    Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

  3. 3

    Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes if using. Bring the soup to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Stir in the tortellini and cook according to the package instructions, usually 4–6 minutes, until tender.

  5. 5

    Lower the heat to medium-low. Stir in the heavy cream and spinach, cooking for an additional 2–3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the soup is heated through.

  6. 6

    Taste the soup and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Ladle into bowls, garnish with grated Parmesan cheese, and serve hot.
