Preparation Steps
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat, then add the sausage. Cook for about 5–7 minutes, breaking it up as it browns and gets those delicious crispy edges.
- Add the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and butternut squash. Sauté for 3–5 minutes, just until the veggies start to soften and smell amazing.
- Pour in the broth, tomatoes (juice and all), and seasonings. Stir it all together, bring it to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Add the tortellini and cook for another 5–6 minutes, until they’re tender and perfectly plump.
- Turn off the heat, stir in the spinach, and let it wilt in the warm broth.
- Ladle into bowls, top with grated Parmesan and fresh parsley if you like, and serve warm. Cozy, hearty, and absolutely perfect for chilly days.
