Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground sausage (or turkey sausage for a lighter option) Use turkey sausage for a healthier option.
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth Use low-sodium broth to control salt.
  • 2 cups tortellini (fresh or frozen, cheese-filled works great) Cook according to package instructions.
  • 2 cups fresh spinach Add fresh spinach just before serving.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • Grated to taste Parmesan cheese (for serving) Feel free to add more cheese.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, add the ground sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  4. Once the broth is boiling, add the tortellini. Cook according to package instructions, usually around 5-7 minutes.
  5. When the tortellini is just about done, stir in the fresh spinach, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Allow the spinach to wilt for a couple of minutes.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

If you have leftovers, they will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat on the stovetop over medium-low heat, adding extra broth as needed.
