Notes

You Can Make This Sausage Tortellini Soup on the Stove

Follow the recipe directions as laid out in the recipe card, except you'll be using a large pot. Once the soup mixture is at a simmer (all ingredients, except tortellini), add the tortellini and remaining ingredients and continue to simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and the spinach is wilted.
