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 (9 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 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 any excess grease.
  2. 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.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes (with their juice). Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Add the refrigerated tortellini to the simmering broth. Cook according to package directions, usually about 5 to 7 minutes, until the tortellini float and are cooked through.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream until the soup is fully combined and heated through. Do not let the soup boil after adding the cream.
  6. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts into the soup, about 1 minute.
  7. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a different flavor, substitute ground chicken or turkey for the Italian sausage.
  • If you prefer a Tuscan soup style, add 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (drained) along with the broth.
  • This recipe freezes well if you omit the heavy cream until reheating. Add the cream after reheating the broth and tortellini mixture.
