Equipment

1 Dutch Oven

Ingredients

1 pound ground Italian sausage
1 cup diced carrots
1 small yellow onion diced
3 cloves garlic minced
¼ cup all purpose flour
2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon mustard powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
5 cups chicken stock
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups spinach
2 cups frozen tortellini
½ cup parmesan cheese

Instructions

Heat a heavy bottom pot on medium high heat and add the Italian sausage, carrots and onions until sausage is cooked through and veggies are soft about 8-10 minutes. Add in the minced garlic and cook another 30 seconds.
Sprinkle in the flour and stir until combined.
Add in the ground Italian seasoning, mustard, salt and pepper.
Stir in the chicken stock and stir and let simmer 1-2 minutes as it thickens.
Stir in the heavy cream and add in the frozen tortellini and bring to a boil then reduce the heat to simmer.
Add in the spinach and parmesan cheese, let simmer on low until spinach wilts and cheese is melted about 1-2 minutes.

Notes

Frozen or fresh tortellini will work fine.

Frozen Spinach can also be used I would recommend thawing and squeezing out any extra water before adding it to the soup.

Freezing directions: Cook the soup but leave out the tortellini, once cooled place in a large ziplock freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and place the soup in a saucepan and reheat on low, then add in some cooked tortellini and serve!
