Creamy Sausage Tortellini Soup

I prefer the refrigerated cheese tortellini instead of the dry. Aldi has two kinds of refrigerated cheese tortellini that are great in this recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 lb Italian Sausage
• 1 small diced yellow onion
• 2 large peeled and diced carrots
• 4 cloves minced garlic
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 5 cup chicken broth
• 14 ounce refrigerated cheese tortellini
• 1/2 tsp kosher sea salt
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
• 6 ounce chopped fresh spinach
• 2 cup half and half

Instructions

1. In a large stockpot over medium to high heat, cook the sausage until browned. Transfer sausage to a paper towel lined plate to absorb the excess grease.
2. Add onion and carrots and saute for about 5 minutes until vegetables are soft. Add garlic and saute for an additional 2 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
3. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute. Gradually add in chicken broth and whisk until combined. Cook until mixture reaches a simmer. Reduce heat and simmer on low to medium heat. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
4. Pat as much excess grease from sausage and add to the pot. Add remaining ingredients. Simmer for about 5 minutes until tortellini is fully cooked.
5. Top with freshly grated parmesan cheese.

I prefer fresh spinach in this recipe but frozen will work too.
