A hearty and tasty Italian sausage and tortellini soup with spinach, the perfect meal for a cool fall day!

ingredients

·     1 tablespoon oil
·     1 pound italian sausage, casings removed
·     1 onions, diced
·     2 cloves garlic, chopped
·     1 pinch red pepper flakes
·     6 cups chicken broth or chicken stock
·     1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
·     2 tablespoons tomato paste (optional)
·     1 teaspoon oregano
·     1 pound cheese tortellini (gluten free for gluten free)
·     1/2 cup parmigiano reggiano (parmesan), grated
·     10 ounces spinach, coarsely chopped
·     salt and pepper to taste
·     1/4 cup basil, chopped (optional)

directions

1.       Heat the oil in a large sauce pan over medium-high heat, add the sausage and onions and cook, breaking the sausage up with a spoon until the sausage is cooked through, about 6-10 minutes, before adding the garlic and red pepper flakes and cooking until fragrant about a minute.
2.      Add the broth, tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano and tortellini, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the tortellini is cooked, about 7-10 minutes.
3.      Add the cheese and spinach and cook until the cheese has melted into the broth and the spinach has wilted, about a minute, before seasoning with salt and pepper to taste, mixing in the basil and removing from the heat.

Option: Add 1/2 cup heavy/whipping cream to make it creamy!
Option: Replace the oregano with Italian seasoning.
