📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to warm up for 1 minute.

2. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

4. Add the diced zucchini to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. Pour in the vegetable broth, canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), and tomato paste. Stir well to combine.

6. Season the soup with dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

7. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and let the soup cook for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the vegetables to become tender.

8. Add the tortellini to the pot and cook according to the package instructions (usually 3-5 minutes for fresh and 8-10 minutes for frozen). Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking to the bottom.

9. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, stir in the fresh spinach, allowing it to wilt into the soup.

10. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

11. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
