Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Low-carb tortellini (made with cheese or almond flour pasta substitutes)
- 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, casing removed)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 6 cups Chicken broth (low sodium)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Crushed tomatoes (no sugar added)
- 4 cups Spinach, fresh
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for spice)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
Remove the cooked sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside. Leave about 1 tablespoon of fat in the pot for flavor; if needed, drain excess grease.
Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and crushed tomatoes. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the soup base to heat through but do not boil.
Add the low-carb tortellini to the soup and cook according to the package instructions or until tender. Typically, this takes about 5-7 minutes but may vary depending on your chosen brand.
Return the cooked sausage to the pot and stir in the fresh spinach. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Season the soup with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with Parmesan cheese. Enjoy a nutritious, low-carb, and delicious meal!
