Notes
While you could swap out the Italian sausage for a different meat it will change the flavor drastically. Italian sausage already has so much flavor packed into it which is what flavors this soup.
Feel free to use whatever flavor of tortellini you have on hand. I always use cheese tortellini but spinach tortellini would also be great!!
Use fresh tortellini to keep this meal quick.
Feel free to add other vegetables or swap out the spinach for kale. My family prefers baby spinach so that's what I use.
Yes, I know there is heavy cream in this soup but it adds body and slightly thickens the soup. If you choose to use anything else it will alter the thickness of the soup som
