Instructions

Cook Sausage: Bring a large dutch oven to a medium-high heat. Add ground Italian sausage and break apart. Move around the large pot to fully brown. If there is a lot of grease, feel free to drain some off.
Add Veggies: Add butter to the large pot and let melt. Then add the garlic, onion, carrots, and celery. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Move everything around the pot to cook for 3-4 minutes.
Sauce + Broth: Gradually pour in the vodka sauce and chicken broth. Let it all simmer for 3-5 minutes to let the flavors come together. Taste and adjust any seasonings, if desired.
Finish: Add cheese tortellini and spinach to the soup, give it all a mix, and let it continue to simmer for 3-5 minutes or until the tortellini are fully cooked.
Serve: Ladle soup into individual bowls and top with some parmesan cheese top!

Notes

Dairy Free: pick-up a dairy-free cheese tortellini, use a plant-based butter, and omit the parmesan cheese or use a vegan parmesan cheese.
Storage: leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days.
*Primal Kitchen Vodka Sauce: feel free to swap out or any other favorite marinara sauce you want – this is just what we tested this recipe with and it was SO good!
