Laurel's Tortellini Stew

Source: Inspired by Kimma's Tortellini Soup, but adapted to include whatever I had in my fridge that night (which ended up kind of similar to this version that I tried a couple of years ago)

Ingredients:
2 medium onions
1 package kielbasa or polish sausage (I used chicken and apple brats)
2-3 tsp. minced garlic
4 large carrots, peeled and chopped
1 large can diced tomatoes
6-8 cups beef broth
2 Tbsp. italian seasoning
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 bunch broccoli, chopped
1 package tortellini
1/2-1 cup of fresh spinach per bowl

Directions:
1. Saute onions and sausage in large soup pot until onions are translucent and tender. Add garlic, cook until fragrant.
2. Add carrots, tomatoes, broth, and seasonings. Bring to boil, reduce heat, and simmer 20 mins or until carrots are tender.
3. Add broccoli and tortellini. Cook until tender. Remove from heat.
4. Add spinach to serving bowl, ladle soup on top and stir together. Allow 2-3 minutes for the spinach to wilt, then enjoy.

Notes: So hearty and healthy. Be warned that this makes a big pot full, so be prepared to feed a crowd, or freeze the leftovers.
