Scale

For the Soup:

  • 1 lb ground mild Italian sausage
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seed, crushed or chopped
  • 1 (6 oz) can tomato paste

Instructions

  1. Brown the Sausage: In a large pot, brown the Italian sausage over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Add diced onion, celery, and carrots to the pot. Cook until vegetables soften, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Season and Flavor: Stir in minced garlic, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and crushed fennel seed. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Enhance with Tomato: Add tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes.
  5. Deglaze with Wine: Pour in white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Create Roux: Sprinkle flour over the mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
  7. Add Broth: Slowly whisk in chicken broth, ensuring a smooth consistency. Bring the soup to a simmer.
  8. Cook Tortellini: Add tortellini to the soup and cook as per package instructions.
  9. Finish with Cream: Stir in half and half or heavy cream and chopped spinach; heat until spinach wilts and the soup is creamy.
  10. Serve: Top with Parmesan cheese and parsley before serving.

Notes

  • This soup reheats well but may thicken upon standing. Add more broth or cream to adjust consistency.
  • Feel free to customize by adding more vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers.
  • For a lighter version, use turkey sausage and low-fat dairy options.
