I love the cozy feeling of a big bowl of soup on a cold night.&nbsp; This soup is so very easy to make.&nbsp; It&#8217;s filling and satisfying and EASY.&nbsp; It doesn&#8217;t have a ton of ingredients and you can put this together in just a few minutes.&nbsp; Perfect for a warm homemade meal on a busy weeknight.&nbsp; &nbsp;You should make this and gather around your table with your people and enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll need:&nbsp; Italian sausage, a bag of frozen tortellini, a can of diced tomatoes, chicken (or vegetable) broth, garlic, fresh or frozen spinach, basil, garlic salt, and parmesan cheese.<\/p>\n<p>Start by cooking the sausage and garlic together in your soup pot.&nbsp; Break up the sausage as it cooks.&nbsp; Cook it on medium so that you are cooking the sausage through, but not burning it.&nbsp; I used hot Italian sausage because I love the spice &#8211; but you can use mild or even sweet if you prefer.&nbsp; When the sausage is fully cooked, drain the grease.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1123\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mamapalma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_4658.jpg?resize=300%2C200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\"><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1121\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mamapalma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_4662.jpg?resize=300%2C200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now stir in the broth, water and diced tomatoes and bring to a boil.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1119\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mamapalma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_4669.jpg?resize=300%2C200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\"><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1122\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mamapalma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_4660.jpg?resize=300%2C200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once it&#8217;s boiling, add the tortellini and boil for 5-6 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1118\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mamapalma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_4671.jpg?resize=300%2C162&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"162\"><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1117\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.mamapalma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/IMG_4673.jpg?resize=300%2C200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\"><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Reduce the heat to low and add the spinach, basil, garlic salt and pepper.&nbsp;
