Sausage And Spinach Tortellini Soup Recipes

SAUSAGE, SPINACH & TORTELLINI SOUP

Steps:

• In a large, heavy-bottomed stock pot, brown the sausage over medium heat, breaking apart as it cooks. Drain the excess grease -- optional, but I prefer a less greasy broth.
• Finely chop the onion and garlic and stir them into the cooking sausage. Cook 3-4 minutes, stirring occasinoally, until fragrant.
• Pour the broth and tomatoes, stir, and bring to a simmer.
• Stir in the tortellini and cook together for about 3-4 minutes (fresh tortellini cooks very quickly, but if you're using frozen, just cook according to the directions on the package).
• Just before you're ready to serve, stir in the baby spinach and cook together just until it's gently wilted. You can do this one or two handfuls at a time, if that fits better in your pot.
• Season to taste with salt, pepper and crushed red pepper, if using. Divide the soup into bowls and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
