Tortellini Soup with Italian Sausage & Spinach

This has great flavor. It was quick and easy.

mom did it with chicken stock, no thickening... just a broth soup.

I used vegetarian tofu, turkey plant-based Italian sausage 14 oz from produce department and a whole 5 oz bag of baby spinach! It was delicious!

Had to improvise and made it on the stove top, still amazing.

Wow! This is delicious! We love garlic so we used about 2 tbs. And used country sausage because we didn't have Italian. We used about 1/2 tsp of pepper and 1 tsp of salt and it worked out. This is scrumptious! My partner isn't a big fan of soups and he devoured it. Made this a second time and contemplating not adding any salt next time. Still scrumptious! I also recommend making this in a 4qt pot. It holds everything together nicely.

TIP FOR LEFTOVERS: Don’t add the tortellini to the soup pot, instead add them to each serving bowl. Storing the in the soup overnight results in very mushy noodles that have soaked up ALL of the liquid. I made that mistake several times.

I love this soup, but my husband doesn’t like soup for dinner (too many overnight trips to the bathroom), so I improvised. I added zucchini and sliced mini peppers, then I used diced tomatoes and not as much broth. End result, he loves it. His is on a plate with a fork and mine is in a bowl with a fork AND spoon.

We love this soup and make it often! It reheats really well too!
