Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 medium carrots, peeled and diced
2 stalks celery, diced
6 cups chicken broth
1 (14.1 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups fresh baby spinach, roughly chopped
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes with their juice, dried Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Add the cheese tortellini to the pot and cook according to package instructions, about 3 to 5 minutes, until tender.
Stir in the heavy cream and chopped spinach. Cook for 2 more minutes until the spinach is wilted and the soup is heated through.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot.
