Ingredients

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
12 ounces chicken sausage, sliced
3 cloves of garlic
1 medium onion, finely chopped
4 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning
9 ounces fresh cheese tortellini

Instructions

In a deep heavy bottom pot heat olive oil. Add garlic, onion and chicken sausage. Cook until onion is wilted and sausage is cooked through.
Add chicken broth and Italian seasoning.
Bring everything in the pot to a boil and add the tortellini.
Keep the soup at a low boil until the tortellini is cooked through. About 5-8 minutes depending on the brand.
Lower the heat to medium, stir in tomatoes and simmer for about 10-15 minutes.
Lastly, add the spinach and cook until wilted.
Season soup with salt and pepper to our taste.
Serve hot with a generous handful or parmesan on top and a crusty baguette on the side.

Notes

This soup is extremely easy to store, making it ideal for making ahead, or saving a portion for a later date. When I prepare it during naptime I leave it on the stove and re-heat it at dinnertime. Then, to store overnight I pop the whole pot in the fridge and scoop out ladle fulls when I want more the next day. On occasion I have also frozen the soup, it works well, so feel free to pour some into the plastic container to freeze for another week.
