Ingredients

• ▢ 1 pound ground Italian sausage, hot or mild
• ▢ 1 small  onion, diced
• ▢ 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ▢ 3 Tablespoons flour
• ▢ 1 teaspoon dried basil
• ▢ ½ teaspoon oregano
• ▢
• ▢
• ▢
• ▢ ¼ teaspoon pepper
• ▢ 1 cup heavy cream
• ▢ 5 cups chicken broth
• ▢ 2 cups spinach
• ▢ 2 cups refrigerated tortellini, just under 10 oz.
• ▢ Salt/ to taste
• ▢ 1 pinch red pepper flakes

Directions

•  Cook and crumble the sausage and diced onions over medium-high heat until the onions are softened and the sausage is cooked through, 8-10 minutes. Drain grease. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
• Add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
• Add 1 tsp dried basil, ½ tsp oregano, ¼ tsp pepper. Stir to combine.
• Add the chicken broth and use a silicone spatula to “clean” the bottom of the pot. Add the cream. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer.
• Add the spinach
  and tortellini and simmer for 3-5 minutes. (If your tortellini needs longer cooking time, add the tortellini first, then the kale during the last 5 minutes.)
• Taste the soup and add salt if desired. Start with ¼ tsp and add more after that if needed.
• Transfer to serving bowls and top with a pinch of red pepper flakes. Serve with Garlic Bread with Cheese.

Enjoy!
