Preparation

Step 1

In a 6-qt stockpot, bring broth to a boil. Carefully drop sausage by heaping teaspoonfuls into boiling broth. Add tortellini, tomatoes, and Italian seasoning; return to boil.
Reduce heat, simmer uncovered, 8-10 minutes or until sausage is cooked through and pasta is tender. Stir in spinach until wilted.

Freeze option: Freeze cooled soup in freezer containers. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Heat through in a saucepan, stirring occasionally and adding a little broth if necessary.
