Spicy Tortellini Soup

Spicy Tortellini Soup

  

 8 cups chicken broth

5 to 6 links of Italian sausage (spicy if you like)

1 lb. frozen or fresh cheese tortellini

1 bag washed baby spinach leaves

   or 1 box frozen spinach

dash of pepper

grated Parmesan cheese to top

Coarsely chop spinach and set aside. Using a large pot, squeeze sausage to remove it from its skin, then brown, breaking it into small pieces (like browning hamburger) and drain fat. Add broth and heat to boiling. Add your pasta and continue to boil until tortellini is cooked. Add pepper, and then throw in spinach. Cook just 2 to 3 minutes more and serve with Parmesan cheese.
