Spicy Sausage and Tortellini Soup 🌶️

This soup is the best combination of creamy and spicy, you can also make a mild version if you don’t like spice!

Ingredients:

1 medium yellow onion, chopped

3-4 ribs of celery, chopped

3 cloves of garlic, minced

1 pound ground spicy sausage (or mild if you don’t like spicy)

3 tbsp flour

1 cup heavy cream

5 cups chicken broth

2-3 cups spinach

2 cups fresh tortellini (I get this in the refrigerated section of the market but if you get frozen just note it will take a little longer to cook)

Seasonings: (I measure with my heart/taste for the following) garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, parsley flakes, salt, pepper

Directions:

1. Heat a soup pot with olive oil then add the ground sausage, onions, and celery and cook down for about 8 mins

2. Add in the garlic and cook for another 2 mins

3. Add the flour and cook down for another 2 mins

4. Add in all seasonings and mix

5. Add the chicken broth 1 cup at a time while stirring, then add the heavy cream slowly while continuously stirring. Bring to a low boil then reduce to a simmer

6. Then add the spinach and tortellini and cook for about 4-5 minutes while occasionally stirring (note: if using frozen tortellini go according to the package for the cook time and add spinach a little after adding the tortellini to give tortellini more time for cooking)

Serve with some warm toasted bread and enjoy! 😊
