RUSTIC ITALIAN TORTELLINI SOUP RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Remove Sausage from casing and crumble sausage into a Dutch Oven. (I just brown sausage whole enough to slice it into coins and use it that way), add onion. Cook and stir over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic, cook 1 minute longer. Stir in broth, water and tomatoes. Bring to a boil. Add tortellini, return to a boil. Cook for 7-9 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat, add spinach, basil, pepper and pepper flakes. Cook 2-3 minutes longer or until spinach is wilted. Serve with parmesan cheese sprinkle on top if desired.
