Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 (20 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes (with their juice), Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and let it simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
- Stir in the heavy cream and the refrigerated tortellini. Cook uncovered according to the package directions, usually about 5 to 7 minutes, until the tortellini are tender.
- Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts into the soup. Remove the pot from the heat.
- Stir in the 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese until the soup is creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
- Serve your hearty soup immediately with extra Parmesan cheese on top.
Notes
- This recipe uses refrigerated tortellini for speed, making it a great 30 minute dinner idea.
- If you prefer chicken, substitute the Italian sausage with 1 pound of cooked, shredded chicken breast.
- For a tomato tortellini soup variation, add 1/4 cup of tomato paste when you add the broth.
- This one pot soup dinners method means minimal cleanup for your busy weeknights.
