½ pound country sausage or fresh ground pork
3 cloves minced garlic
¼ cup onion, finely chopped, optional
½-1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ cup Panko bread crumbs

8 cups chicken broth (more if desired)
1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes
Salt and Pepper to taste

sheet with parchment paper.
Mix together all meatball ingredients until well blended.
Shape into 1-inch meatballs; place on prepared baking sheet

While meatballs are cooking, melt butter over medium high
heat in Dutch oven or large soup pot. Add carrots and
celery; cook until just beginning to soften and lightly
browned. Add broth, tomatoes, salt and pepper to taste;
bring to a boil; add tortellini and meatballs; cover,
reduce heat and gently boil about 7 minutes or until
tortellini are tender. Add spinach, cover and continue to

broth. Serve with shredded Parmesan cheese and garnish with
fresh snipped parsley.
