Heat a skillet over medium heat. Make little balls of sausage with your hands; drop them into hot pan. Cook in two batches. Brown all sides and completely cook them through. Remove onto a paper towel lined plate or platter.
Saute onions in the fat leftover from the pork until soft; about 8 minutes. Add pressed garlic; saute 30 seconds.
Meanwhile, add stock, tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, sugar, chili peppers, pepper and salt to a large, heavy bottomed soup pot or Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Add onion and garlic mixture; simmer 10 minutes, uncovered. With a potato masher, crush down into soup, slightly breaking up tomatoes and onions.
Add tortellini; cook according to package directions, about 7-9 minutes. Add in cooked sausage; stir in spinach until just wilted.
Serve immediately.
