Description
A comforting one-pot soup packed with Italian sausage, cheese tortellini, and fresh spinach, perfect for chilly days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Italian sausage (beef-based)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 carrot, diced
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 package (9-12 oz) cheese tortellini
- 3 cups fresh spinach
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for sautéing
Instructions
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sausage, breaking it up with a spoon and cooking until browned.
- Toss in the onion, garlic, and carrot. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the broth, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pot.
