Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound Italian sausage, hot or mild
1 small yellow onion, diced
3 celery stalks, thinly sliced
2 carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried crushed rosemary
7 to 8 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream, you can also use half & half
9 to 12 ounces refrigerated cheese tortellini
5 ounces fresh baby spinach

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven or stock pot set over medium-high heat.
Add the sausage to the heated oil and cook, breaking it up into little pieces with a wooden spoon; cook for 6 minutes or until just browned.
Add onions, celery, and carrots; saute for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the veggies are tender.
Stir in garlic and season with salt, pepper, thyme, oregano, and rosemary; cook for 20 seconds, or until fragrant.
Add in chicken broth, stirring to combine.
Increase heat to high and bring to a steady boil; reduce heat to a simmer and let simmer for 15 minutes.
Whisk in the cream; increase heat to medium-high and bring mixture to a slow boil. Continue to whisk until cream is completely combined.
Add tortellini and spinach; cook for 5 more minutes, or until tortellini is tender, but not mushy.
Remove soup from heat and let stand 5 minutes.
Taste for salt and pepper; adjust accordingly.
Serve.
