Equipment

  • Large soup pot

Ingredients
  

Meat

  • 16 ounces Italian sausage see note

Vegetables

  • ½ medium onion chopped finely
  • 2 sticks celery chopped finely
  • 3-4 cloves garlic minced

Broth and Cream

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 28 ounce can diced tomatoes with juices
  • ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup heavy cream or whipping cream

Pasta and Greens

  • 2 cups refrigerated cheese tortellini generous cups
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach packed, optional

Miscellaneous

  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Cooking Steps

  • 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.

Notes

For the sausages, anything around the 16 ounce/1 pound ballpark is fine - it doesn't need to be exact. You can either buy ground sausage meat or, if using whole sausages, take the meat out of the casings. This recipe is also in chapter 5 of the Salt & Lavender: Everyday Essentials hardcover cookbook.
