Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 package (9 ounces) refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Parmesan cheese for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Sausage
In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, brown the Italian sausage, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain excess grease if necessary.

Step 2: Sauté Aromatics
Add diced onion and cook until softened (about 3-4 minutes). Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 3: Build the Soup Base
Pour in diced tomatoes (with juice) and chicken broth. Stir in Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 4: Cook the Tortellini
Add cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions (typically 5-7 minutes).

Step 5: Add the Cream and Spinach
Lower the heat, pour in heavy cream, and stir to combine. Add chopped spinach and allow it to wilt.

Step 6: Season and Serve
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls, garnish with Parmesan cheese, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Vegetarian Option: Substitute sausage with mushrooms and use vegetable broth.
