Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb hot Italian sausage

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 small onion, diced

  • 2 carrots, diced

  • 2 celery stalks, diced

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 (14.5 oz) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

  • 4 cups chicken broth

  • 10–12 oz cheese tortellini

  • ½ cup heavy cream

  • 2 cups baby spinach

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a soup pot, brown sausage in olive oil. Remove and set aside.

  2. Sauté onion, carrots, and celery until soft. Add garlic; cook 1 minute.

  3. Stir in tomatoes, seasoning, and pepper flakes. Cook 2 minutes.

  4. Add broth and cooked sausage. Simmer 10 minutes.

  5. Add tortellini and cook until tender, 5–7 minutes.

  6. Stir in cream and spinach. Simmer 2 minutes until wilted.

  7. Taste and season. Serve hot with bread or Parmesan.

Notes

For a milder version, use sweet Italian sausage. Tortellini can be cooked separately to avoid overcooking in leftovers. Soup base freezes well.
