Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 (9 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the Italian sausage in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Break the sausage into small pieces as it cooks. Drain off excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot with the sausage 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, oregano, and red pepper flakes if you are using them. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  5. Add the refrigerated tortellini to the simmering soup. Cook according to package directions, usually about 5 to 7 minutes, until the tortellini float and are tender.
  6. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream until the soup is creamy. Do not let the soup boil after adding the cream.
  7. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts completely.
  8. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  9. Taste the soup and add salt and black pepper as needed before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute mild Italian sausage for spicy if you prefer less heat.
  • For a heartier soup, add 1 cup of chopped sweet potatoes with the broth and simmer until tender before adding the tortellini.
  • If you do not have heavy cream, you can use half-and-half, but the soup will be slightly thinner.
