Ingredients
- 1 lb Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 (9 oz) package cheese tortellini
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Remove excess fat if necessary.
- Add diced onion, garlic, carrots, and butternut squash to the pot. Sauté for 5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
- Pour in chicken broth and add dried thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
- Add cheese tortellini to the soup and cook according to package instructions, usually 5-7 minutes, until tortellini are tender.

- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle soup into bowls and top with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
Notes
- This soup can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

- Add other vegetables like zucchini or kale for extra nutrition.
