Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb Italian sausage Browned in the pot
  • 1 medium onion, chopped Sauté until translucent
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Add with the onion
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth Use low-sodium if preferred
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes Add to the broth
  • 1 package (9 oz) refrigerated tortellini Cook according to package instructions
  • 2 cups spinach Add last to maintain color
  • to taste Salt and pepper Adjust seasoning as desired
  • for serving Grated Parmesan cheese Add to bowls when serving

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a large pot, cook the Italian sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté until the onion is translucent.
  3. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and diced tomatoes. Bring to a boil.
  4. Add the tortellini; reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until tortellini is cooked.
  5. Stir in the spinach and season with salt and pepper; cook until spinach is wilted.
  6. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

Cool the soup to room temperature, then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze without spinach and tortellini; add fresh when reheating. Brown sausage well for more flavor, and use low-sodium broth if watching salt intake.
