Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven
  • Spoon
  • knife
  • cutting board

Method
 

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Add the onion and garlic to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Add the tortellini and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the tortellini are tender.
  5. Stir in the baby spinach and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the spinach is wilted.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

For best results, be sure to break up the sausage as it cooks to ensure even distribution and tenderness. Adjust the broth-to-cream ratio to achieve the desired level of creaminess. Timing the tortellini addition is crucial to prevent them from becoming overcooked or mushy. This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently before serving.
