Description
A warm, hearty, and comforting veggie tortellini soup packed with flavor and perfect for chilly evenings or family dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 large carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 stalks celery, diced
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 cups fresh spinach or 1 cup frozen spinach
- 10 oz cheese tortellini, fresh or frozen
- Grated Parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced onion, stirring frequently until fragrant and softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add the diced carrots and celery to the pot. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and canned diced tomatoes (including the liquid). Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Add the fresh spinach to the pot and stir until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. If using frozen spinach, cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Gently add the tortellini to the soup and simmer according to package instructions, typically 5-7 minutes, until tender and cooked through.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or pepper as needed.
- Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
