Ingredients

64 oz Beef broth
20 oz Fresh Sweet Italian Sausage Tortelloni
1 cup Frozen peas
2 cups Spinach coarsely chopped
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Grated Parmesan and lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

In a large stock pot, pour the 2 boxes of beef broth in the pot and bring to a boil (about 5-10 minutes depending on your stove).
Add tortelloni and cook for 2 minutes (still on a boil). Then add peas and spinach. Cook for 2-4 more minutes or until the spinach is just wilted.
Season with ground black pepper and squeeze one wedge of lemon over the soup prior to serving. Serve with grated parmesan cheese and additional lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

Tortelloni - I like to use the Buitoni Fresh Sweet Italian Sausage Tortelloni. I find this in the refrigerated section of the grocery store next to the other fresh pastas.
Broth - I have found that beef broth tastes best with this recipe. Chicken broth and Vegetable broth will alter the taste of the overall soup.
No Salt Needed - I do not put any salt in this recipe. The broth has salt and I use a squeeze of lemon juice. The acidity from the lemon acts as natural salt.
Lemon - If you do not have fresh lemon on hand, you can use a little splash of lemon concentrate. The lemon brightens the soup up and makes the flavors complete.
Store Leftovers - If you have leftover soup, let the soup come to room temperature prior to refrigerating. Refrigerate for up to 5 days.
Reheat Leftovers - Reheat leftovers by either microwaving until hot or cooking on the stove top.
