Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, casings removed)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium Carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 medium Celery stalks, diced
- 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes
- 6 cups Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 10 ounces Cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
- 3 cups Fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- to taste Parmesan cheese, grated (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil and Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until the sausage is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.
Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Add the cooked sausage back to the pot along with the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the soup to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Add the cheese tortellini to the pot and cook according to the package instructions, typically 5-7 minutes, until the tortellini are tender.
Stir in the fresh spinach and let it wilt, about 2 minutes. Then, pour in the heavy cream and mix well to create a creamy broth.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy your hearty, comforting bowl of Sausage Tortellini Soup!
