Ingredients
  

  • 1 package store-bought cheese tortellini about 9-12 ounces
  • 2 cups fire-roasted diced tomatoes canned or jarred
  • 4 cups chicken broth use a good quality broth for best flavor
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup fresh spinach roughly chopped
  • Grated parmesan cheese for serving (optional)

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven
  • Wooden spoon or silicone spatula
  • Chef’s knife
  • Cutting board
  • Measuring spoons
  • Ladle

Method
 

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in your pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until translucent. Toss in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  2. Pour in the 2 cups of fire-roasted diced tomatoes along with their juices. Stir in the dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Let this mixture simmer for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
  3. Add 4 cups of chicken broth to the pot and increase the heat to bring the soup to a gentle boil.
  4. Carefully add the package of cheese tortellini straight into the boiling soup. Cook according to the package instructions, usually around 3-5 minutes, until the tortellini are tender and cooked through.
  5. Once the tortellini are cooked, stir in 1 cup of fresh spinach. Let it wilt into the soup for about a minute.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle generously with grated parmesan cheese if you like.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; add broth or water when reheating to loosen the soup.
  • Freeze soup base without tortellini to avoid mushy pasta; cook fresh tortellini when serving.
  • Customize with gluten-free tortellini or vegetable broth for dietary preferences.
  • Add crushed red pepper flakes for heat or mix in cooked shredded chicken for extra protein.
  • Swap spinach with kale or Swiss chard for different greens.
