A rich and creamy soup featuring Italian sausage, cheese tortellini, and spinach, perfect for cozy fall evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 12 oz cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
  • 4 cups chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles with a wooden spoon. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and canned diced tomatoes (with their juice). Stir well and bring to a simmer.
  4. Stir in the cheese tortellini and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they’re tender.
  5. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and fresh spinach. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, just until the spinach is wilted.
  6. Add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Give the soup a final stir and adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese, fresh basil, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half. If using frozen tortellini, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze without tortellini for up to 2 months.
