Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 stalks Celery stalks, diced
- 1 medium Carrot, diced
- 1 medium Zucchini, diced
- 1 medium Bell pepper, diced
- 1 pound Ground beef (85% lean)
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 6 cups Beef broth
- 1 14-ounce can Diced tomatoes
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 12 ounces Keto-friendly tortellini
- 4 cups Baby spinach leaves
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the diced celery, carrot, zucchini, and bell pepper to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook until the beef is browned and no longer pink, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 6-7 minutes.
Stir in the Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper flakes, cooking for an additional minute to release the spices' aroma.
Pour in the beef broth and add the diced tomatoes with their juice, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Bring the soup to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer uncovered for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Add the keto-friendly tortellini to the pot. Continue simmering for the time recommended on the tortellini package, usually about 5-7 minutes, until they are tender.
Stir in the baby spinach and let it wilt for about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the bay leaf, and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Enjoy!
