Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 2 stalks celery, diced
• 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
• 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 cups baby spinach
• 10 ounces cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped (optional for garnish)
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add olive oil, then sauté the diced onion for about 3–4 minutes, or until soft and translucent.

Step 2

Add minced garlic, diced carrots, and celery. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.

Step 3

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Add dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 4

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and let cook for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 5

Stir in the cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions (usually about 7–9 minutes), until the tortellini are tender.

Step 6

Add the baby spinach and cook for another 1–2 minutes, just until the spinach wilts.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
