Ingredients
1 pound Italian sausage
1 small onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups chicken broth
1 can diced tomatoes, 14.5 ounces
1 cup heavy cream
1 package cheese tortellini, 20 ounces
2 cups fresh spinach
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1. Brown the Italian sausage in a large pot over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks.
2. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, then stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
3. Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes, then add the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
4. Stir in the heavy cream and let the soup warm through.
5. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to the package directions until tender.
6. Stir in the fresh spinach and grated Parmesan cheese until the spinach wilts and the cheese melts into the broth.
7. Serve hot with extra Parmesan on top if desired.
Notes
Do not overcook the tortellini, because it can turn too soft and soak up too much broth if it stays in the pot too long.
