Sausage and Spinach Tortellini Soup
MY husband's grandmother used to make this soup with her own homemade sausage and homemade tortellini. Since it has been passed down, we don’t “hand make” those ingredients but it’s almost as good as hers. It’s a great way to get the kids to eat spinach!2 ServingsPrep: 10 min. Cook: 30 min.
