Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium carrots, sliced
- 2 medium celery stalks, sliced
- 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 15-ounce can canned diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 10 ounces cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
- 3 cups spinach, fresh
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and the canned diced tomatoes with their juices.
Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the soup is boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Add the cheese tortellini to the pot and cook according to the package instructions (typically 5-7 minutes for fresh tortellini or slightly longer if frozen).
Stir in the fresh spinach during the final 2 minutes of cooking. Cook until the spinach is wilted and tender.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy!
