Ingredients
 

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 carrots diced
  • 2 celery stalks diced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
  • 1 can 14.5 oz diced tomatoes (with juices)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 package 9 oz fresh or frozen cheese tortellini
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or kale
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  • Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
  • Add Broth and Tomatoes: Pour in the vegetable broth and add the diced tomatoes (with their juices). Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  • Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer.
  • Cook the Tortellini: Add the tortellini to the pot and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes for fresh tortellini or 7-10 minutes for frozen.
  • Add Spinach: In the last couple of minutes of cooking, stir in the fresh spinach (or kale) and cook until wilted.
  • Serve: Once everything is cooked through, ladle the soup into bowls and top with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, if desired.
