Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Italian sausage, casings removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (9 oz) package cheese tortellini
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Remove excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add diced onion, garlic, carrots, and butternut squash to the pot. Sauté for 5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and add dried thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
  4. Add cheese tortellini to the soup and cook according to package instructions, usually 5-7 minutes, until tortellini are tender.
  5. Stir in baby spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Ladle soup into bowls and top with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, consider adding red pepper flakes with the sausage. Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and freeze nicely for up to 2 months.
