Notes

You can use hot or sweet Italian sausage, or try swapping in ground chicken.
For vegetarian tortellini soup, omit the sausage and swap the chicken broth for vegetable broth.
Feel free to sub in your favorite kind of tortellini, like chicken, beef, or sausage!
You can use kale or escarole instead of spinach, if you prefer.
For creamy tortellini soup, add an extra ½ cup of heavy cream.

Storage: Store tortellini soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. I recommend storing the tortellini separately from the soup and combining before reheating.
