Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 lb Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 1/2 onion, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 ribs celery, sliced
  • 3 cups fresh or frozen cheese tortellini (about 250 grams)
  • 2 cups fresh chopped spinach or kale
  • 1 cup cream (any kind)
  • 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, cook Italian sausage and onion over medium-high heat, stirring often, until browned. Drain excess fat if desired.
  2. Add tomato paste, Italian seasoning, garlic, and salt to the skillet. Cook and stir for 2 minutes.
  3. Pour the sausage mixture into a 4-6 quart slow cooker. Add chicken broth, carrots, celery, and onion.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours, until vegetables are tender.
  5. Stir in tortellini, spinach (or kale), cream, and Parmesan cheese.
  6. Cover and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes until tortellini are al dente.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired before serving.

Notes

For best flavor, sauté the sausage and aromatics before adding to the slow cooker. Use a 6-quart slow cooker to comfortably fit all ingredients. You can substitute Italian sausage with ground chicken, turkey, or beef if preferred.
