Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups baby spinach
- 10 ounces cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional for serving)
Instructions
Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add olive oil, then sauté the diced onion for about 3–4 minutes, or until soft and translucent.
Add minced garlic, diced carrots, and celery. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Add dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and let cook for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Stir in the cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions (usually about 7–9 minutes), until the tortellini are tender.
Add the baby spinach and cook for another 1–2 minutes, just until the spinach wilts.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
