My grandmother used to make an Italian Tortellini soup, only on occasion (when she found tortellini for a cheaper price, or made her own). I attempted to recreate it last night for dinner and, it came out pretty good! Enjoy!Ingredients:
1-12oz package Jimmy Dean Reduced Fat Original Roll Sausage
1 medium white onion, diced
1-14oz can whole peeled tomatoes, chopped (I put mine in a blender)
1 box (32oz) low sodium chicken broth
1-9oz package of cheese tortellini, usually found in a cooler
8-10oz of fresh spinach
2 tbsp. minced garlic
2 tsp. basil
2 tsp. oregano
salt and pepper, to taste
crushed red pepper, to taste
Directions:
- Place sausage, diced onion, garlic, basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper in a large dutch oven. Cook over medium heat until the sausage is no longer pink.
- Add in the tomatoes and chicken broth and bring to a boil.
- Stir in the tortellini and cook according to the instructions on the package. Once the tortellini are fully cooked, reduce the heat to a low-medium
- Add in the spinach—I gave mine a quick chop before adding it—and cook until it is wilted.
- Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
