Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound sweet or hot Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 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 (16 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. 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 excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes (with their juice), Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Add the refrigerated tortellini to the simmering broth. Cook according to package directions, usually about 5 to 7 minutes, until the tortellini are tender.
  6. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts into the soup, which takes about 1 minute.
  7. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until the soup is creamy and the cheese is melted. Do not let the soup boil after adding the cream.
  8. Serve the soup hot. This is a great family friendly dinner option.

Notes

  • For a spicier soup, use hot Italian sausage instead of sweet.
  • If you prefer kale over spinach, add chopped kale during the last 10 minutes of simmering the broth before adding the tortellini.
  • You can substitute half-and-half for heavy cream for a slightly lighter soup.
  • This recipe is excellent for meal prep; store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
