Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb. Italian sausage
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (28 oz.) diced tomatoes, with juice
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 package (10 oz.) cheese tortellini, uncooked
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions

  • In a large pot, cook the Italian sausage over medium heat until browned. Break it up into small pieces as it cooks. Once fully cooked, remove the sausage and set it aside.
  • In the same pot, add diced onion and garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until the onions become translucent.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes (including their juice). Stir in the basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to medium and stir in the heavy cream. Let the soup simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  • Add the uncooked cheese tortellini and spinach. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the tortellini is tender and cooked through.
  • Stir the sausage back into the soup and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve hot, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • Choosing Sausage: Italian sausage adds a lot of flavor to this dish. If you prefer a milder version, go for sweet Italian sausage instead of the spicy one.
  • Dairy Substitutes: For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a milk alternative. Just note that it may affect the creaminess of the soup.
  • Tortellini Tips: Cheese tortellini is the most common choice for this soup, but feel free to experiment with different fillings like spinach or mushroom tortellini.
