Directions: |
Directions:Crumble sausage into Dutch oven; add onion. Cook & stir over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic, cook 1 minute longer Stir in broth, water & tomatoes. Bring to a boil. Cook 5 minutes. Add tortellini & cook for 2 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat add spinach, basil, pepper & pepper flakes. Cook 2-3 minutes longer or until spinach is wilted. Serve with cheese.
You can cook the tortellini right in the soup, but I find it absorbs too much of the liquid; try it both ways.

Notes: There are lots of great soups out there, but this one from our Montrose PA neighbor, Gail Overfield, became an instant family favorite after she brought us some on a cold winter day in 2012. Guaranteed you'll make it again once you try it.
