In this homemade tortellini soup, I used Italian Chicken sausage that comes in links and then I removed the casing to make it into ground sausage. I browned the sausage first with some onions and garlic and that became the base of this soup. Once the sausage was browned, I then used some flour and broth to thicken the soup, crushed tomatoes, and diced tomatoes. Once you add the tortellini to this soup it cooks in about 5 minutes. You turn off the heat, then add the spinach, cream, and some parmesan cheese.
