Cooking Instructions

• Add the sausage meat to a large soup pot. Sauté over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for 7-10 minutes, or until the sausage is browned all over.
• Take the sausage out of the pot and set it aside on a paper towel lined plate. Leave about a tablespoon of the fat in the pot (drain any excess).
• Add the onion and celery to the pot and cook for 4-5 minutes.
• Add the flour and garlic and cook for a minute, stirring constantly.
• Slowly add the chicken broth and stir until the flour has completely dissolved.
• Add the canned tomatoes and Italian seasoning to the pot. Also add the sausage back in. Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a gentle boil.
• Once it’s boiling, add the tortellini and reduce the heat so it’s gently simmering. Cook for 5 minutes.
• Stir in the cream and cook for another 5 minutes.
• Stir in the spinach and season with salt & pepper to taste.
