📝 Instructions

10 steps

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

2. Add the Italian sausage to the pot, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and set it aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.

3. Add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.

4. Stir in the zucchini and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

5. Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices), chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.

6. Return the cooked sausage to the pot. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and let simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

7. Add the tortellini to the pot and cook according to the package instructions, typically 3-5 minutes, until tender.

8. Stir in the baby spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted.

9. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

10. Serve hot, topped with grated parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy!
