Filled with delicious and nutritious ingredients, this SIMPLE Rustic Italian Sausage Tortellini Soupis bursting with flavor and ready to serve in under 30 minutes!
In a large saucepan, sauté turkey sausage and chopped onions. Cook and stir over medium heat until meat is no longer pink.
Add minced garlic to sausage onion mixture and cook 1 minute longer.
Add chicken broth, undrained, canned diced tomatoes, dried basil and crushed red pepper flakes to saucepan and increase heat to medium high. Bring mixture to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer soup for 10 minutes.
Add tortellini and return soup to a boil. Cook for about 5 minutes (2-3 minutes longer if using frozen tortellini), stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat and stir in the fresh baby spinach. It may seem like it will not all fit but as it heats, it will reduce in volume.
Cook 2-3 minutes longer or until spinach is wilted and tortellini are tender.
To serve, top bowls of soup with shredded Parmesan cheese.
