Ingredients
- 1 pound (500g) Italian sausage
- 1 small onion, diced
- 4-6 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups (945ml) chicken broth or stock
- 1 (14oz) (411g) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 (14oz) (411g) can diced tomatoes
- 1 (10oz) (285g) refrigerated cheese tortellini (not dried or frozen)
- 1 cup (235ml) heavy cream
- 4 cups (120g) spinach
Instructions
- In a large pot brown sausage and onion over medium heat until no longer pink and onions are translucent (about 5 min). Stir in garlic for 30 seconds.
- Stir in broth and tomatoes and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in tortellini and heavy cream and simmer for 10 minutes max. Remove from heat and stir in spinach.
Notes
- While you could swap out the Italian sausage for a different meat, the flavor will change drastically. Italian sausage already has so much flavor packed into it, which 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 this soup has heavy cream, but it adds body and slightly thickens the soup. If you choose to use anything else, the thickness of the soup will be altered.
