Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, diced (~1 cup)
- 14 ounces spicy Italian plant-based sausage (we used this)
- 2 large cloves garlic, minced (~2 teaspoons)
- 1 cup carrot, diced
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning blend
- 1/2-3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 9 ounces (1 package) vegan cheese tortellini
- 3 cups spinach
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/3 cup vegan cream or milk (we used oat milk)
Instructions
- Add the oil to a large soup pot over medium heat. Add onion and plant-based sausage and sauté until the sausage is browned, about 8 minutes.
- Add in garlic and continue cooking for 1 minute.
- Stir in carrots, celery, tomato paste, Italian seasoning blend, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and pepper and sauté for 5 minutes, until the vegetables start to soften.
- Stir in the flour and let it cook for 30 seconds. Stir in 2 cups of vegetable broth, turn heat to high and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the broth starts to thicken.
- Add in the remaining broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Add in the tortellini, spinach, parsley and cream. Cook for another 10-15 minutes, until tortellini is al dente. Serve right away.*
Notes
*If not serving immediately (or making for meal prep), cook and store the tortellini in a separate container, otherwise it will get soggy and soak up too much liquid.
Sensitive to spice? Use sweet Italian sausage instead of spicy.
Spinach: You can also use kale, swiss chard or another leafy green.
Storage: Let the soup cool to room temperature, then transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Freezer storage: Freeze for 3-6 months. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator, then reheat on the stove. If specifically making this soup to freeze, leave out the tortellini and cook just before serving.
