Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound 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 (9 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 5 ounces 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-high heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain 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 add the diced tomatoes (with juice), Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes to allow flavors to combine.
  5. Stir in the refrigerated tortellini and cook according to package directions, usually about 3 to 5 minutes, until tender.
  6. Stir in the fresh spinach until wilted, which takes about 2 minutes.
  7. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese until the soup is creamy.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use sweet or hot Italian sausage based on your preference.
  • If you do not have heavy cream, you can substitute with half-and-half, though the soup will be slightly thinner.
  • You can substitute kale for spinach if you prefer a heartier green.
