Instructions
- In a large pot over medium-high heat, brown sausage meat and onion until sausage is cooked and onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Drain or blot away excess grease if necessary.
- Add garlic, red pepper flakes, salt & pepper, and herbs. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add chicken stock and stir to scrape up any browned bits off the bottom of the pot.
- Add heavy cream. Bring soup to a boil and then reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Add tortellini and cook until tortellini is done according to package directions. The brand I used took 6 minutes.
- Turn off heat and add chopped spinach, stirring until spinach is wilted, about 1 minute. Taste and add more salt if needed. Did you make Sausage Tortellini Soup? Post a photo on Instagram, and tag me @dinneratlulus and use the hashtag #dinneratlulus.
