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
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 (19 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 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, diced tomatoes (with their juice), Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Reduce the heat to low, stir in the heavy cream, and let it warm through for 2 minutes.
  5. Add the refrigerated tortellini to the soup. Cook according to package directions, usually about 5 to 7 minutes, until the pasta is tender.
  6. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts into the soup, about 1 minute.
  7. Serve the hearty tortellini soup immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • For a slow cooker version, brown the sausage and sauté the onion and garlic on the stovetop first. Transfer to the slow cooker, add broth, tomatoes, and seasonings. Cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours. Stir in the cream and tortellini during the last 20 minutes of cooking. Add spinach at the end.
  • You can substitute kale for spinach if you prefer a heartier green.
  • Use mild or hot Italian sausage based on your preference for spice.
