Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, do not drain
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp dried thyme
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 9 oz tortellini, see note
  • 3 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
  • fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions 

  • First, in a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté until the vegetables are slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the chicken or vegetable broth, diced tomatoes (with their juices), dried basil, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.
  • Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Add the refrigerated gluten free tortellini to the soup. Cook according to the package instructions until the tortellini is tender.
  • Stir in the fresh spinach leaves and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
  • Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  • Ladle the creamy tortellini soup into bowls. Sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top of each serving.
  • If desired, garnish with fresh basil leaves for added flavor and presentation.
  • Serve the soup hot. Enjoy!

Notes

  • I love using gluten free tortellini for this recipe.
  • Feel free to adjust the amounts of veggies.  Or, add in whatever veggies you have on hand.
  • If desired, add in some ground meat.  Ground beef, ground chicken, and ground turkey all work well.
  • Store the leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • To reheat, add the leftovers to a skillet over medium heat.  Heat until warmed.
  • This soup can be frozen for up to 2 months.
