Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound mild Italian sausage casings removed
  • 1 medium yellow onion finely chopped
  • 2 medium carrots peeled and diced
  • 2 stalks celery diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can (14.5-ounce) diced tomatoes undrained
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 package (20-ounce) refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 3 cups fresh spinach roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese plus more for serving

Equipment

  • Dutch oven
  • Wooden spoon
  • measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons

Method

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, for 5-7 minutes until browned and crumbled.
  2. Add the finely chopped onion, diced carrots, and diced celery to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in 6 cups chicken broth and the entire can of undrained diced tomatoes. Add 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Add the entire package of refrigerated cheese tortellini to the simmering soup. Cook according to package directions, usually 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini are tender and floating.
  5. Stir in 3 cups chopped fresh spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Turn off the heat and stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese until fully incorporated and the soup appears creamy. Serve immediately with additional Parmesan cheese for topping.
