๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿณ Instructions

1. Sautรฉ the Aromatics

In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sautรฉ for 5โ€“7 minutes, until vegetables begin to soften.

2. Add Broth and Tomatoes

Pour in the broth, diced tomatoes (with their juices), and Italian seasoning. Season with a little salt and pepper.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 10 minutes.

3. Add Tortellini and Spinach

Stir in the tortellini and cook according to package instructionsโ€”usually about 5โ€“7 minutes, until tender.

During the last 2 minutes of cooking, stir in the spinach until wilted.

4. Taste and Serve

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Ladle into bowls and top with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese if desired (just watch the portion for points!).


๐Ÿฅ„ Serving Suggestions

This soup is a meal on its own, but if you want to pair it with something, try:

  • A side salad with light vinaigrette
  • A slice of whole grain bread (track points!)
  • Roasted vegetables or steamed green beans

๐ŸงŠ Storage & Meal Prep Tips

  • Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days
  • Freezer: If freezing, cook the tortellini separately and add after reheating to avoid mushy pasta
  • Reheat: Warm gently on the stovetop or in the microwave
