Make this rich and hearty soup quickly on the stovetop. It combines Italian sausage, cheese tortellini, and spinach in a velvety broth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 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 (9 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

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 juice), Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Add the refrigerated tortellini to the simmering soup. Cook according to package directions, usually about 5 to 7 minutes, until the tortellini are tender.
  5. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts into the soup, about 1 minute.
  6. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream until the soup is fully combined and creamy. Heat through gently, but do not boil after adding the cream.
  7. Serve the soup hot.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream, or stir in 1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of cold water during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
  • If you prefer a less intense sausage flavor, use sweet Italian sausage instead of hot.
  • You can substitute kale for spinach, but add it a few minutes earlier so it has time to soften.
