Ingredients
- 1 pound ground sausage mild or hot
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1 28-ounce can crushed Marzano Italian tomatoes
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 19 ounces frozen tortellini or fresh
- 3 cups fresh spinach
Instructions
- Heat a large pot over medium heat, then add the ground sausage with the water. Use a wooden spoon to break the meat up into small pieces and cook until no longer pink.
- Drain the fat and place the sausage onto a paper towel-lined plate. Add the diced onion to the pot and cook over medium heat until translucent, stirring occasionally.
- Once cooked, add the sausage back to the pot along with the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, cream cheese, salt, Italian seasonings, and salt.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and stir to help melt the cream cheese. Add the tortellini and the spinach, then simmer for 4-5 minutes, or until the tortellini floats to the top and is tender.
- Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Notes
- Storing Leftovers: store leftover tortellini soup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Freezing: make sure soup is completely cooled before transferring to an airtight container and storing frozen for up to 1 month. To thaw, transfer to the fridge overnight.
- To reheat: you can reheat in a small pot on the stove or in the microwave until warmed through.
- Tip: This soup reheats best if frozen without the tortellini, so they don’t become mushy or fall apart.
