Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 oz Italian sausage
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 0.5 Yellow onion
- 1 Carrot
- 1 Celery stalk
- 3 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes (canned, with juices)
- 6 oz Cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup Baby spinach
- 1 tsp Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Peel and finely dice the onion, the carrot, and the celery stalk. Mince the garlic cloves and set everything aside.
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Remove the casing from the Italian sausage and add it to the pot, breaking it into small chunks. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced onion, carrot, celery, and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Stir in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes (with juices), and dried Italian seasoning. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and add the cheese tortellini. Cook for 5-7 minutes if using fresh tortellini or 8-10 minutes if using frozen, or until the tortellini is tender.
Stir in the baby spinach and let it wilt, about 1-2 minutes. Taste the soup and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
Serve the soup hot in bowls, topped with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy!
