Tortellini Soup

Simple Tortellini & Sausage Soup

Time: 1hr

Ingredients:

• 1 medium yellow onion

• 1 TBSP Olive Oil

• 1 pack of sausage

• 3 cloves minced garlic

• 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes

• 1/8 tsp ground pepper

• 1/8 tsp Kosher salt

• 1 can diced tomatoes

• 1 box Veggie broth (4 cups)

• 1 box Chicken broth (4 cups)

• 20oz of fav Tortellini

• 1 can Cannellini Beans

• 3 cups Spinach

Step 1: Dice Onion

Add 1 TBSP Olive Oil to large pan. Once heated add diced onion. Cook for a few minutes to soften/brown but move to step 2 before burns or sticks.

Makes: About 12 cups

Step 2: Sausage Time!

Cut the round Sausage into bite size rounds, halves, and quarters to give it a good mix. (Remember you'll want to enjoy the sausage and tortellini's on the same spoon later!). Add to the cooking diced onions, stirring frequently to prevent any sticking / burning on Med-High heat for a few minutes.

Pairs with: Buttered oven toasted bread

Step 3: Flavor Boost

Add the minced garlic, cook for about 1 min more. Then add the red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, tomatoes and both broth boxes. Stir together and bring to a boil.

Tip: Salt levels will depend on Tortellini's and broth amounts. Adjust as needed.

Step 4: Simmer to Soak

Add tortellini and reduce, uncovered, to low/med setting. Simmer for 20min, stirring about every 4min.

Step 5: Final touches

Add beans and roughly chopped / hand ripped spinach. Stir to combine and wilt the spinach. Then serve.
