Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 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 (16 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 broth. Cook according to package directions, usually about 5 to 7 minutes, until the tortellini float and are cooked through.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream until fully combined. Do not let the soup boil after adding the cream.
  6. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts, 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 immediately in bowls, topping each serving with extra grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground chicken or ground turkey for the Italian sausage if you prefer a lighter flavor.
  • For a Tuscan Tortellini Soup flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil and a pinch of red pepper flakes with the Italian seasoning.
  • This soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat.
