Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

• 5 cups Fresh spinach
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.25 cups, grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.

Step 3

Pour in the chicken broth and canned diced tomatoes with their juice. Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once the soup is simmering, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 5

Add the cheese tortellini to the pot and cook according to the package instructions (typically 3-5 minutes for fresh tortellini or 7-9 minutes for frozen).

Step 6

Stir in the fresh spinach and let it wilt in the hot soup for about 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, being careful not to let the soup boil.

Step 8

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired. Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
