Ingredients
- 16 oz. regular pork sausage
- 1 1/2 c. chopped onion
- 4 cloves garlic, pressed
- 32 oz. chicken stock, not broth
- 29-30 oz. canned diced tomatoes
- 5 oz. can tomato paste
- 1 T. dried oregano leaves
- 1 T. dried basil leaves
- 1 T. sugar
- 1/2 t. dried red chili peppers
- 1 t. fresly ground black pepper
- 3/4 t. kosher salt
- 10 oz. cheese tortellini
- 3 oz. fresh baby spinach leaves
Steps
- 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.
