Creamy Tortellini Soup Recipe

Serves 4-6

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup cashews (or 3/4 cup heavy cream)
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, diced
• 4 celery stalks, chopped
• 3oz tomato paste
• 15oz crushed tomatoes
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes
• 48oz chicken broth (about 1.5 boxes)
• 1 package tortellini
• 1 package chicken sausage, sliced
• 2-3 cups spinach
• salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

1. First, make your cashew cream by combining the cashews with 3/4 cup water in a blender. Blend until completely smooth. Set aside. (Skip this step if using heavy cream)
2. Heat the olive oil in a large pot on medium heat. Once hot, add the garlic, onion and celery. Cook about 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent.
3. Add the tomato paste and cook another few minutes.
4. Add the crushed tomatoes, red pepper flakes and broth. Turn heat to high heat bringing the liquid to a boil.
5. Once boiling, add the tortellini and chicken sausage. Once tortellini is cooked, stir in the spinach and cashew cream.
6. Serve topped with salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
