Ingredients
  

1 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy, your choice)

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 carrots, diced

2 celery stalks, diced

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained

4 cups chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 package (9 oz) refrigerated cheese tortellini

2 cups fresh spinach

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Brown the Sausage: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.

    Sauté the Vegetables: Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.

      Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the canned diced tomatoes with their juices and the chicken broth. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

        Incorporate Cream and Spices: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

          Cook the Tortellini: Add the cheese tortellini to the pot, stirring gently. Cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes, or until the tortellini are tender and cooked through.

            Add Spinach and Cheese: Once the tortellini are done, stir in the fresh spinach until wilted. Remove the pot from the heat and add the shredded mozzarella cheese, stirring until melted and incorporated.

              Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy your hearty cheesy soup!
