Get your prep done before you start cooking. Remove casings from sausages. Grate the Parmesan cheese, Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Heat a large pot over medium high and add bacon. Cook until golden brown and crispy. Remove from pot onto a plate layered with paper towel.

Reduce heat to medium and add butter, stir until melted. Add Italian sausages, break up into pieces and cook until brown, about 3 minutes. Add onion and garlic, cook for 2 minutes. Stir in salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Simmer over medium low for 10 minutes.

Add cream and lemon juice. Stir in spinach and cook for 1 minute. Next add tortellini and boil for 2 minutes. If not serving right away, boil the tortellini separately and add them to the soup when ready to eat.

Turn off the heat and stir in Parmesan. Taste and adjust salt. Top with bacon, chili flakes and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
