1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 pound mushrooms, sliced
5 cup chicken broth

Directions

In a Dutch oven, melt butter and heat olive oil.
Add onions and saute until translucent.
When the onions are fragrant and translucent, add the garlic and saute for a few seconds, then add the sausage and brown it.
Push sausage to the side to make a small spot to pour one tablespoon of olive oil, add basil and oregano to the oil and toast for 20-30 seconds.
Mix the herbs with the sausage and add in the mushrooms.
When mushrooms have softened, add broth and tomatoes. Bring to a simmer.
Add frozen spinach and cook until thawed, bringing the liquids to a boil. Taste the broth and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper.
Add tortellini and cook according to package directions.
Enjoy!
