Sausage and Spinach Tortellini Soup image

My husband's grandmother used to make this soup with her own homemade sausage and tortellini. Since the recipe has been passed down, we don't hand make those ingredients, but this version is almost as good as hers. It's also an excellent way to get the kids to eat spinach!-Joyce Lulewicz, Brunswick, Ohio
