Ingredients
- Olive oil (to coat)
- 1 small yellow onion (chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 6 links chicken sausage (I used a garlic and mozzarella variety, sliced)
- 4 cups lower sodium chicken broth
- 14 ounce can diced tomatoes with their juices
- 14 ounce can tomato sauce
- 1 large zucchini (sliced in half moons)
- 19 ounces frozen cheese tortellini
- 4 cups baby spinach
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves (sliced in ribbons)
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Additional basil and Parmesan cheese (for serving)
Instructions
- Coat the bottom of a large dutch oven with olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until beginning to soften, 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant. Add the sliced chicken sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and heated through.
- Stir in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and tomato sauce and bring the mixture to a boil. Add the zucchini and cook for 2 minutes, then add the frozen tortellini and cook for another 5 minutes, or until tortellini is tender and hot clear through.
- Lower the heat to low, and stir in the spinach until wilted. Stir in the cream, Parmesan cheese, basil, and parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper if needed. Serve warm with additional fresh basil and Parmesan cheese for topping, if desired.
Notes
- Choose a savory chicken sausage variety, like garlic mozzarella or Italian.
- This soup is also great without the chicken sausage. Substitute the chicken broth for veggie broth to make it vegetarian.
- You can also substitute the chicken sausage for Italian sausage or leftover rotisserie chicken.
- Leftovers keep well in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove top until hot but not boiling.
