Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound sweet or hot Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (9 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions

  1. Place a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot with the sausage and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced tomatoes (with their juice), Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and let the soup simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
  5. Stir in the refrigerated tortellini and cook according to package directions, usually about 5 to 7 minutes, until the pasta is tender.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and fresh spinach. Cook just until the spinach wilts and the soup is heated through. Do not boil after adding the cream.
  7. Serve the creamy sausage tortellini soup hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • You can substitute kale for spinach if you prefer a heartier green. Add kale at the same time as the tortellini so it has enough time to soften.
  • For a slightly different flavor profile, use mild Italian sausage and add 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes with the Italian seasoning.
  • This recipe is excellent for meal prep; store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
