Stovetop: Brown the turkey sausage, sauté the onions, then add everything to the pot except the cream, tortellini and spinach. Simmer for 20 minutes, adding the tortellini during the last 5 minutes. Stir in the cream and spinach and serve!
Make your own turkey sausage using ground turkey, fennel seeds, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Serve this soup with garlic bread, homemade focaccia or brussels sprouts salad.
Store this soup in the fridge without the tortellini. Reheat in a pot on the stovetop, add in the tortellini, simmer and serve.
Freeze this recipe without the tortellini, cream or spinach for up to 3 months. Defrost then reheat as normal and stir in the remaining ingredients.
