This is quickly becoming one of my favorite go-to recipes! This soup is easy to throw together (I made it in 30 minutes earlier this week) and is surprisingly filling. I try to keep the ingredients for it on hand so I can make it often! I buy my tortellini and spinach at Aldi, so it’s pretty frugal for me to make. For us, it gives plenty of leftovers for lunches later in the week. Hope you like it as much as we do! (I found the original recipe here and modified it slightly.)
Tortellini Spinach Soup
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1 quart chicken (or vegetable) stock (I use low-sodium or homemade)
1 large can crushed tomatoes
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes, for a little heat (optional)
1 package cheese tortellini (1 lb.)
several large handfuls of raw spinach (around 4 cups, but you can add more or less as desired)
salt & pepper
grated Parmesan cheese
Heat olive oil in a large pot on the stove top over medium. Saute onion in oil until translucent. Add garlic and saute an additional 1-2 minutes. Pour in chicken stock and crushed tomatoes. Add red pepper flakes (optional). Bring to a boil. Add tortellini and cook about 3 minutes (follow package directions). Add spinach and heat just until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Pour into bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese.
Serves 5-6. Enjoy!
