Method
Main
- Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the ground Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add the diced onion to the pot with the sausage and sauté for 3 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and Italian seasoning, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
- Stir in the heavy whipping cream and the refrigerated cheese tortellini. Simmer uncovered for 3-5 minutes, or until the tortellini are tender and floating to the top.
- Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the fresh baby spinach. Let it sit for 1 minute until the spinach is wilted.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish generously with freshly grated parmesan cheese, and serve immediately with crusty garlic bread.
