Creamy Tortellini Soup with Smoked Sausage & Spinach
Ingredients – 1 medium yellow onion, diced – 1/3 cup all purpose flour (80 mL) – 1 Tbsp dried basil (15 mL) – 2 cloves of garlic, minced – 2 Tbsp tomato paste (30 mL) – 3 Tbsp olive oil – 4 cups chicken broth (1000 mL) – 2 (14.5 oz) cans petite diced tomatoes – 1 to 1 1/2 lbs Smoked Sausage (450-675 g) – 1 tsp salt – 1/2 tsp pepper – 4 cups frozen cheese tortellini (or you can use fresh) (512 g) – 3 cups packed spinach (you can definitely add more than this if you want) – 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (64 g) -1 cup heavy cream or 1 cup half and half (240 mL)
Preparation
In a microwave-safe bowl add the onions, flour, basil, garlic, tomato paste and drizzle with olive oil. Microwave for 5 minutes, stirring every 90 seconds or so. (The mixture will be pasty and look weird but don’t worry it will all be okay in the end). Add the mixture to the slow cooker.
Add broth, tomatoes, smoked sausage, salt and pepper to the slow cooker. Stir.
Cover and cook on LOW for 4-6 hours or on HIGH for 3-4 hours (or until sausage is very tender).
Add in tortellini and spinach, Parmesan cheese and warmed cream (cream should be warmed because it may cause curdling if added in cold).
Put the lid back on and cook on HIGH for about 10 more minutes, or until the tortellini are cooked through. Ladle into serving bowls and enjoy!
