The combination of italian sausage, stuffed pasta, fresh baby spinach, and a creamy base is so comforting and hearty and the flavors are spot on.
How to make my creamy tortellini soup with sausage and spinach
First, take your pork sausage (you can use spicy or regular Italian sausage) and onion and saute them in a large soup pot or dutch oven on medium high heat until the sausage is cooked and the onion is tender.
Add the garlic and saute for another minute. Next add the flour and cook for 1 more minute.
Next add the chicken stock, heavy cream, pepper, basil, oregano, mustard powder, pepper flakes and bring to a boil.
Add the tortellini and fresh spinach to the soup and simmer for a couple of minutes until the pasta and spinach is cooked through. Stir occasionally and add salt to taste.
