Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 1 red pepper diced
  • 4 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp salt pepper, garlic powder
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 18 oz cheese tortellini
  • 4 oz sliced mushrooms
  • 3 handfuls fresh spinach
  • grated parmesan for serving

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add sausage and turkey, cooking until browned and breaking it apart into small pieces. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  1. Add diced onion and red peppers to the pot. Cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  1. Pour in diced tomatoes and chicken broth. Stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a gentle boil, then lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 5–10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  1. Stir in mushrooms, cooked meat, and tortellini. Simmer for 5–7 minutes, just until the pasta is tender.
  1. Reduce heat to low. Stir in heavy cream, then add spinach and let it wilt for 2–3 minutes. Top with freshly grated parmesan. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, use spicy sausage and add extra red pepper flakes.
  • If you prefer a lighter soup, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
  • Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal.
