Here’s a simple recipe for Tortellini Soup:
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 9 ounces refrigerated cheese tortellini
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)
Instructions:
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Pour in chicken or vegetable broth and diced tomatoes (with their juices) into the pot. Stir in dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Once simmering, add the refrigerated cheese tortellini to the pot. Cook according to package instructions, usually about 7-9 minutes, until the tortellini is tender.
- Once the tortellini is cooked, stir in fresh spinach leaves and allow them to wilt slightly in the hot soup, about 1-2 minutes.
- Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed with more salt and pepper.
- Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
