INGREDIENTS YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE TOMATO TORTELLININ SOUP

This is a wonderful soup recipe! Not only because it tastes so good, but also because it’s made with pantry staples you most likely already have on hand. To make Tomato Tortellini Soup you will need:

• Butter
• Onion– something like white or yellow onion, it has a mild flavor and cooks down well.
• Garlic Cloves– a few cloves adds major flavor,
• All-Purpose Flour
• Italian Seasoning
• Paprika
• Salt and Pepper, to taste
• Tomato Paste
• Chicken Broth – low sodium. If you’re a vegetarian, simply sub with vegetable broth.
• Diced Tomatoes, with juice – 1 full can of diced tomatoes.
• Cheese Tortellini – We want nice cheesy tortellini today, but feel free to use any kind of filling you’d like.
• Heavy Whipping Cream, 35% – creates a thick, silky-smooth broth
• Baby Spinach – add it at the end so it doesn’t overcook!
• Parmesan Cheese
• Fresh basil – optional but highly recommended
• Sugar – optional. See below.

Pro Tip: I prefer to add a little bit of sugar to tomato-based soups and sauces in order to take out some of the acidity from the tomatoes. The small amount I add doesn’t make the soup/sauce sweet, but it mellows the tartness perfectly.

INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE HOMEMADE TOMATO TORTELLINI SOUP WITH SPINACH

This tomato tortellini soup can easily and quickly be made after a long day. In fact, from prep to finish, it can be ready to eat in 45 minutes or less. Plus, I love that there is nothing fussy or complicated about it; it’s just a simple, delicious soup.

STEP ONE: MELT BUTTER

In a large soup pot or dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.

STEP TWO: SAUTE ONION AND GARLIC

• Once butter is melted and hot, add the onion and sauté for 4 minutes, until lightly golden.
• Then add in the garlic and sauté for 1 minute more, stirring to combine.

STEP THREE: MAKE A ROUX

• Stir in the flour, seasoning and tomato paste to form a roux.
• Cook together for 1 minute.
• Then whisk in the chicken broth

STEP FOUR: ADD TOMATOES

• Add in the diced tomatoes
• Then increase heat to medium-high until soup comes to a boil.

STEP FIVE: ADD PASTA AND SIMMER

• Lower heat to medium-low and add tortellini pasta.
• Simmer for 8-10 minutes until tortellini is tender and just above your preferred level of doneness.

STEP SIX: STIR IN CREAM

• Stir in the heavy whipping cream and Parmesan cheese, mixing well.
• Then increase the heat to medium.
• Cook for two minutes.

STEP SEVEN: ADD SPINACH

• Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted.

STEP EIGHT: SEASON

• Adjust the seasoning, as desired.

And that is it! Now go grab a bowl, fill it with Tomato Tortellini Soup. top it off with plenty of Parmesan cheese and serve with some crusty Italian bread (and perhaps a glass of red wine…).

Such a tasty meal!

HOW LONG WILL TOMATO TORTELLINI SOUP LAST?

Tomato Tortellini soup will last for up to 3 days in the refrigerator, or up to 2 months in the freezer.

To store it, first cool the soup completely before pouring it into airtight containers or freezer bags. Then place it in either the fridge or freezer.

HOW DO I MAKE TOMATO TORTELLINI SOUP VEGETARIAN?

If you want to make this a completely vegetarian soup, all you have to do is swap out the chicken broth for vegetable broth and follow the same instructions.

VARIATIONS ON TOMATO TERTELLININ SOUP

While this Tomato Tortellini Soup tastes delicious as is, there are also all sorts of variations you can try. For example:

• Add in 1/4 cup of fresh basil with the chicken stock and tomatoes to make Tomato Basil Tortellini Soup.
