Ingredients
1 pound Italian sausage

1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
1. Brown the sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart and cooking until no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
2. In the slow cooker, combine the cooked sausage, diced tomatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and chicken broth. Stir well.
3. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours.
4. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the tortellini and heavy cream. Cook until tortellini are tender but firm.
5. Just before serving, stir in the spinach until wilted. Adjust seasoning as needed and serve hot.
Notes
This recipe feeds about 6 generous portions.
For extra flavor, sprinkle with grated Parmesan when serving.
If reheating leftovers, add a splash of broth or cream to loosen the soup as tortellini tend to absorb liquid.
