Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 pound of Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the sausage is nicely browned and cooked through.
Add 1 diced onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 sliced carrots, and 2 cups of cubed butternut squash to the pot. Sauté these vegetables for about 5 minutes.
Pour in 6 cups of chicken broth and sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of dried thyme. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
Add a 9 oz package of cheese tortellini to the simmering broth and cook according to package instructions for about 5-7 minutes.
Toss in 2 cups of baby spinach and allow it to wilt in the hot soup for about 1-2 minutes.
Ladle the hearty Autumn Tortellini Soup into bowls and generously sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving.
