Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat for about 1 minute. Add 1 pound of Italian sausage, breaking it into smaller pieces with a wooden spoon. Cook for 6-8 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  2. Once browned, add 1 diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until soft and translucent.
  3. Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, and ½ teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in 6 cups of low-sodium chicken broth and a 14.5-ounce can of diced tomatoes. Stir well and bring to a gentle boil.
  5. Add 2 cups of cheese tortellini. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 3-5 minutes until the tortellini is tender.
  6. Gently fold in 4 cups of fresh spinach and allow it to wilt for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting spice level as needed.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls, top with grated Parmesan cheese, and serve with crusty bread or salad.

Ensure sausage is fully cooked to avoid raw spots and enhance flavor. Adjust cooking time for frozen tortellini. For flavor boost, consider using homemade broth or adding a splash of white wine.
