Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 20 ounces cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
- 6 cups baby spinach
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

- to taste fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and diced onion, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is softened and translucent.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, chicken or vegetable broth, dried basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Add the tortellini to the pot and cook according to the package instructions (usually 4-5 minutes for fresh and 8-9 minutes for frozen).
Once the tortellini is cooked, stir in the baby spinach until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves, if desired.
