- In a large pot, over medium heat, crumble and cook the sausage until it’s brown and crispy.

- Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the diced tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Bring to a gentle boil.
- Stir in the tortellini and cook according to package instructions (usually about 3-5 minutes).
- Once the tortellini is tender, add the spinach and stir until it's just wilted, about a minute.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can add other vegetables like carrots or bell peppers for extra flavor. If freezing, leave out the tortellini to prevent it from becoming mushy.
