Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days.
You can make this soup without the sausage and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth for a vegetarian option.
Chopped kale instead of spinach can be used if you prefer and ground beef, turkey or chicken can be used instead of sausage.
If you're sensitive to spice, omit the red pepper flakes from the soup.
Small raviolis can be used instead of the tortellini if they are not available in your area.
I love adding in more veggies to this recipe to clean out any that are about to go bad in my refrigerator. Celery, carrots, broccoli and zucchini can all be added in and sautéd with the sausage and onions.
