Full of a comforting tomato base and plenty of fresh spinach, the spicy sausage is a zingy, flavorful addition to this easy soup recipe. If you want to make the soup ahead of time, save the tortellini for shortly before serving so that it doesn't get soggy and break apart.
Great recipe! I bought the turkey sausage links because my grocery store doesn’t sell turkey sausage in bulk. It’s not difficult at all to remove it from the casings. Just a simple cut down the middle and plop it into the pan. Easy peasy for most of us, I guess. I substituted dried basil for fresh, other than that I didn’t change a thing. Delicious!
Do any of these so-called cooking geniuses know that you can buy bulk sausage??? It's almost always cheaper than links and you don't have to remove and dispose of the casing. Not to mention; it eliminates a completely unnecessary step in the recipe.
I used Beyond Meat sausage instead of pork sausage. It's a hearty, great tasting soup!
Added a little more spinach than Called for. This is a very hearty soup. Made garlic bread to dunk. Topped with parm Cheese. This was excellent. So easy to make.
This soup will be a new standby for us! I used a healthier sausage sliced into small pieces and it worked beautifully. Couldn't find the fresh tortellini when I needed it so I used dry, which required the amount to be cut in half according to substitution suggestions! Both substitutions worked great.
