Tomato Spinach Tortellini Soup

Tomato spinach tortellini soup

I have been on a soup kick lately and this is one of my family’s favorites! Creamy tomato spinach tortellini soup is warm and comforting and perfect served with a big crusty piece of bread. Plus, I love the leftovers the next day for lunch!  (Tip – for leftovers, add a little more broth as the pasta soaks up much of the liquid).

I never measure when I cook, so I tried my best to get you guys the correct measurements 🙂

Nicolle’s creamy tomato spinach tortellini soup

Ingredients:

  • 1 white onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can of crushed tomatoes (28 oz)
  • 4 cups of vegetable broth

  • 2 bags of frozen cheese tortellini
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 Tbsp fresh basil chopped
  • Crushed red pepper, to taste
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, to taste

 

Directions:

  1. In a large pot, heat 2 Tbsp olive oil. Add garlic and onions, cooking down until the onions are translucent.
  2. Stir in crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
  3. Add spinach and tortellini, stirring until combined. Reduce to a simmer until tortellini cooked through.
