Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 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, plus more for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in 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 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. Add the refrigerated tortellini to the simmering soup. Cook according to package directions, usually about 5 to 7 minutes, until the tortellini float and are tender.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream until the broth is fully incorporated and creamy. Do not let the soup boil after adding the cream.
  6. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts completely. This takes about 1 to 2 minutes.
  7. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  8. Serve your hearty soup immediately, topping each bowl with extra Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use mild or hot Italian sausage based on your preference.
  • If you do not have fresh spinach, you can use frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry, adding it with the cream.
  • This recipe is a great base for adding other vegetables like chopped carrots or celery with the onion.
