Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, sliced
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14 ounces)
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 9 ounces fresh or frozen tortellini (cheese or meat-filled)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or kale, chopped
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
  2. Add the sliced carrots and celery to the pot, and cook for a few more minutes until they begin to soften.
  3. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and diced tomatoes with their juices. Stir in the dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Once the soup reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  5. Add the tortellini to the simmering soup and cook according to the package instructions. Fresh tortellini usually cook within 3-5 minutes, while frozen tortellini may take a bit longer.
  6. Once the tortellini is cooked, stir in the chopped spinach or kale. Let it wilt in the soup for a minute or two.
  7. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding more salt and pepper.
  8. Remove the soup from heat and ladle it into serving bowls. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over each serving and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
  9. Serve the tortellini soup hot and enjoy!

This tortellini soup is a comforting and satisfying meal on its own. The combination of the flavorful broth, tender tortellini, and vegetables creates a delicious harmony of flavors. Serve it with a side of crusty bread for a complete and satisfying meal.
