📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

2. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove any excess grease if necessary.

3. Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic, and cook until fragrant and softened, about 3 minutes.

4. Add the sliced carrots and celery, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.

5. Pour in the chicken broth and the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices). Stir to combine.

6. Add the dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

7. Stir in the cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions, typically 3-5 minutes, until the pasta is tender.

8. If using baby spinach, stir it in during the last 2 minutes of cooking, allowing it to wilt.

9. Taste and adjust seasonings, if needed.

10. Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley if desired.
