The Best Tortellini Soup with Spinach
What do I need to make this soup?
To make this soup, you will need:
- Tortellini pasta: Tortellini can be found fresh or frozen. Either works in this recipe. Traditionally, tortellini is filled with minced meat, but for this recipe, we will be using tortellini pasta that is filled with cheese.
- Crushed tomatoes and tomato paste: This builds the base of the soup.
- Herbs: Herbal undertones add to the overall flavor profile.
- Spinach: Adds freshness to the soup.
- Heavy cream: Adds the creaminess, of course.
- Onion: Adds depth of flavor.
- Garlic: Adds depth of flavor.
- Parmesan cheese: This adds a cheesy and savory profile to the dish.
- Chicken or Vegetable stock: Liquid for the base of the soup.
How do I make this creamy tortellini soup?
First, peel and dice the onion and mince the garlic.
Set a large soup pot over medium-high heat and saute the onion for about 7 minutes until it is translucent. Add the garlic and saute for just a minute to bring out its aroma.
Add the chicken or vegetable stock to the pot.
Then add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, herbs and spices and stir until the tomato paste is incorporated.
Bring it to a simmer for 1 minute. Add the parmesan cheese and stir.
Then, add the chopped spinach, tortellini and heavy cream. Stir until combined.
Let it simmer for another 7 minutes or so until the tortellini is cooked and tender.
And that’s all there is to it! Dinner is served 🙂
Serve this with a crusty roll and you’re all set.
