  • 1 lb hot Italian chicken sausage

  • 1 14.5 oz can organic petite diced tomatoes in tomato sauce
  • ½ cup celery, chopped
  • ½ cup carrots, chopped
  • 2 quarts organic low sodium chicken broth, or homemade stock
  • 2 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ cup heavy cream, optional
  • 2 cups spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 ¼ cup cheese tortellini

Instructions

  • In a large pot over medium-high heat, brown the turkey sausage, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula or wooden spoon. Add onions and sauté until the onions start to become translucent.
  • Add diced tomatoes and tomato paste, and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, chop up celery and carrots, and add to the pot.

  • Top with Parmesan and enjoy!
