Ingredients
For the soup:
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 1/8 tsp black pepper (freshly ground preferred)
- 350 grams cheese tortellini
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 28 oz canned crushed tomatoes (I like Cento crushed tomatoes)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2.5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 chopped onion
- 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tbsp tomato paste (I use Mutti tomato paste)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 cup roughly chopped spinach (fresh spinach preferred)
- 3 minced garlic cloves
For the garnish:
- 3 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
Step 1: Sauté the Onion and Aromatics
In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat some oil over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and cook until it’s softened and translucent.
This should take a few minutes.
Next, add the tomato paste, minced garlic, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Cook and stir for about 1 minute to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 2: Add the Broth and Tortellini
Pour in the chicken broth and add the canned tomatoes (undrained) to the pot.
Then, add the tortellini and a pinch of sugar.
Stir everything together to combine well.
Cover the pot and reduce the heat to medium-low.
Allow the soup to simmer, stirring often, until the tortellini is cooked through, which should take about 3-5 minutes.
Step 3: Incorporate the Cream and Spinach
Once the tortellini is tender, stir in the cream and fresh spinach.
As you stir, the spinach will wilt into the hot soup.
Next, add the grated Parmesan cheese.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or herbs according to your preference.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately.
Enjoy the rich and creamy tortellini soup with a side of crusty bread, if desired.
