Instructions

Cook sausages in Johnsonville grill and slice when finished cooking. UPDATED TO ADD: Since the grill featured in this article is no longer available to purchase, you can simply brown the sausages according to the package directions (in a skillet.)
In a large pot over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Season with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning.
Stir in white beans, diced tomatoes, and chicken stock.
Bring to a gentle boil and add tortellini and sliced sausages.
Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tortellini is cooked and flavors start to meld, 18 to 20 minutes.
Stir in heavy cream, cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Finally, stir in spinach and cook until spinach has wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Taste-test soup for any additional seasoning (careful – it’s hot!) and add in additional salt, pepper or Italian seasoning, if necessary.
Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

Can substitute any brand of Italian sausage.
For a lighter version, reduce heavy cream or use a cream alternative.
