Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 (20 ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain excess grease.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes (with their juice). Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Add the cubed cream cheese and stir constantly until it melts completely into the broth, creating a creamy base.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream. Increase the heat slightly to maintain a gentle simmer.
  6. Add the refrigerated tortellini to the soup. Cook according to package directions, usually 5 to 7 minutes, until the tortellini float and are cooked through.
  7. Stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts into the soup, about 1 minute.
  8. Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, brown the sausage well before adding the onions.
  • If you prefer chicken, substitute the sausage with 1 pound of cooked, shredded chicken breast.
  • This recipe is excellent for meal prep; store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
