Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Low-fat chicken sausage
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 medium Carrots, diced
- 2 medium Celery stalks, diced
- 14.5 oz Canned diced tomatoes (no salt added)
- 6 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tsp Dried basil
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 4 cups Fresh spinach, chopped
- 9 oz Fresh tortellini (cheese-filled, low-fat if available)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.
Remove the casings from the chicken sausage, if necessary, and crumble the sausage into the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the diced onion, minced garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables start to soften.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, dried basil, and dried oregano. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Lower the heat to a simmer and add the cooked sausage back into the pot. Simmer the soup for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
Add the chopped spinach and tortellini to the pot. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the tortellini is tender and fully cooked.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
