Instructions

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add tortellini and cook according to package instructions (4-6 minutes), or until the tortellini has floated to the top. Drain and set aside.
To a large pot over medium-high heat, add oil. Once hot, add kielbasa and cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until brown and slightly crispy on the edges.
To the same pot add the onions and the sun-dried tomatoes and cook until the onions are softened (about 3-5 minutes).
Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add the chicken broth, water, heavy cream, cream cheese, Cajun seasoning, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir until the cream cheese is fully melted and creamy.
Add the spinach and cooked tortellini. Stir well and let the soup simmer for a few minutes until the spinach wilts.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and parmesan cheese. Serve warm. (As the soup sits, it will thicken.)
