Ingredients
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 lb. Italian sausage
1 yellow onion
2 cloves garlic
1/2 lb. carrots
15 oz. can stewed tomatoes*
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
Freshly cracked pepper
3 cups vegetable broth
3 cups water
8 oz. cheese tortelloni
1/4 lb. fresh baby spinach
Directions
Add the olive oil and sausage to a large soup pot . Sauté the sausage over medium heat, breaking it up into pieces as you stir, until it is browned and cooked through. While the sausage is cooking, dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add the onion and garlic to the pot and continue to sauté until the onions are soft and transparent. While the onions are sautéing, peel and slice the carrots. Add the carrots to the pot and sauté for just a few minutes more. Finally, add the stewed tomatoes , basil, oregano, and some freshly cracked pepper. Use your spoon to break the tomatoes into smaller pieces. Add the vegetable broth and water to the pot. Place a lid on top, turn the heat up to high, and bring it up to a rolling boil. Once boiling, add the tortelloni, and continue to boil until the tortelloni is tender . Turn the heat off, add the spinach, and stir until the spinach has wilted. Taste the soup and add salt if needed .
