Sausage and Spinach Tortellini Soup
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 10 min. Cook: 30 min.
YIELD: 2 servings.
My husband’s grandmother made this soup with her own homemade sausage and tortellini. We don’t make those ingredients these days, but we’re so happy to have the passed-down recipe—this version is almost as good as hers. It's also an excellent way to get the kids to eat spinach! —Joyce Lulewicz, Brunswick, Ohio
