Your Concoction

Heat a large, heavy bottomed pan over medium-high heat. Heat vegetable oil and add diced onion and crumbled Italian sausage. Saute until onions are soft and the sausage is browned. Add garlic and cook for 3 more minutes to release the flavor.
Stir in crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, basil, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cover. Let soup simmer for 20-30 minutes.
Add tortellini and spinach and simmer for about ten minutes, until pasta is tender.
Serve with shredded Parmesan or Italian cheese blend and garlic bread.

And as always remember to stir lots of love into the pot!!
