Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 20 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
  • 68 oz baby spinach
  • 48 oz chicken broth
  • 14 oz diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the sausage over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease if desired.
  2. Add diced onion and garlic to the pot. Cook for 3–4 minutes until fragrant and softened.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Stir and bring to a simmer.
  4. Add tortellini and simmer for 3–4 minutes (adjust time if using frozen tortellini).
  5. Stir in baby spinach until wilted, about 1–2 minutes.
  6. Season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper if desired. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • For a leaner option, use turkey sausage.
  • Use gluten-free tortellini to make the soup gluten-free.
  • Add white beans or zucchini for extra nutrition.
  • Freeze without tortellini and add fresh when reheating.
