tortellini soup

i realized this will be hard for me to write an exact recipe since i never measure anything.

i'm going to have to start though :( bear with me please!!!

cook sausage & drain (not into sink unless you want it to clog:))

in a large pot, add 2-3 T olive oil

saute 1 onion & 2-3 large cloves of crushed garlic until onions are clear

add fresh baby spinach until wilted (or you can use frozen- add after sauce then)

add the cooked sausage

add 1-2 tsp italian seasoning or fresh herbs if you have (fresh is ALWAYS better)

add several turns of fresh ground pepper (my favorite :))

add 1 large can crushed tomatoes

1 large can of diced tomatoes ( i used whole peeled plum & i cut them)

1 jar of spagetti sauce or add another can crushed tomatoes

add coarse kosher salt ( couple pinches-less is you used jarred sauce)

you may want to add a half can of water

(my soups are usually thicker)

add tortellini & cook on med-low until they are tender.(don't overcook)

add freshly grated parmesan cheese to taste

serve along with fresh bread
