📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

2. Add the chopped onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables start to soften.

3. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

4. Stir in the diced zucchini and yellow squash, sautéing for 3 minutes until slightly softened.

5. Pour in the can of diced tomatoes (with their juice) and the vegetable broth.

6. Add the dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

7. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

8. Add the fresh spinach and cheese tortellini to the pot. Stir and cook according to the tortellini package instructions (usually 3-5 minutes for fresh tortellini or 7-9 minutes for frozen).

9. Once the tortellini is tender and the spinach is wilted, remove the pot from heat.

10. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

11. Serve the soup hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired.
