A comforting and creamy soup packed with tender tortellini, vibrant vegetables, and rich flavors, perfect for chilly evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced finely
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced or finely chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced thin
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 12 ounces fresh tortellini (cheese-filled, spinach, or meat-filled)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they’re soft and translucent. Toss in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the sliced carrots and chopped celery to the pot. Stir them around and let them cook for 5 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.
  3. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and let the veggies cook for 10 minutes.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes, ensuring all the flavors meld together beautifully.
  5. Add the fresh tortellini to the pot and cook according to the package instructions, usually 5-7 minutes. The tortellini should be tender but not mushy.
  6. In the last minute of cooking, stir in the spinach until it wilts. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese for that extra cheesy goodness.

Notes

[‘Let the onions, carrots, and celery sauté properly to ensure a rich base for your soup.’, ‘Use fresh tortellini for better texture and faster cooking.’, ‘Season gradually to build layers of flavor.’, ‘Avoid overcooking the tortellini; they should be tender but still hold their shape.’, ‘Adjust the creaminess to your preference by adding more or less heavy cream or using half-and-half.’]
