Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz Italian sausage use turkey or chicken sausage if preferred
  • ½ medium onion chopped finely
  • 2 sticks celery chopped finely
  • 2 tablespoon flour
  • 3-4 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 28 oz diced tomatoes with juices
  • ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 cups refrigerated cheese tortellini generous cups
  • 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach packed, optional
  • to taste salt & pepper

Instructions
 

  • In a large soup pot, cook the Italian sausage over medium heat. Break it up with a spoon until fully browned and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate. Leave a bit of fat in the pot for flavor.
  • Add chopped onion and celery to the pot. Cook for 4–5 minutes until softened and fragrant. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Sprinkle flour over the vegetables. Stir constantly for about a minute. Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring to prevent lumps.
  • Add diced tomatoes with juices, Italian seasoning, and return sausage to the pot. Bring to a gentle boil.
  • Reduce heat and add tortellini. Simmer for about 5 minutes until pasta is cooked through.
  • Stir in heavy cream until combined. Add spinach and let wilt for 2–3 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, optionally topped with shaved parmesan.

Notes

  • Use turkey or chicken sausage for a lighter version.
  • Let the sausage brown well for added flavor.
  • Add the cream at the end to avoid curdling.
  • Taste before salting since broth and sausage add saltiness.
