Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 medium carrot, peeled and diced
- 2 medium celery stalks, diced
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 20 ounces cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
- 4 cups baby spinach
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated (optional for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken or vegetable broth. Add the Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer the soup for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Increase the heat back to medium and stir in the tortellini. Cook according to the package instructions, typically 5-7 minutes, until the tortellini are tender.
Add the baby spinach to the pot and stir until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the soup to warm through, but do not boil.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
