Step-by-Step Instructions for Healthy Tortellini Soup
- In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 finely chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for about 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
- Next, stir in 2 peeled and diced carrots along with 2 diced celery stalks. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots and celery are softened but not mushy.
- Now, toss in 1 diced zucchini and continue to stir for an additional 3 minutes.
- Pour in 6 cups of low-sodium vegetable broth and 1 can of undrained diced tomatoes. Add 1 teaspoon each of dried basil and oregano, stirring to combine. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot, letting the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- Stir in 1 package (9 oz) of cheese tortellini, cooking according to package instructions, typically 7-10 minutes.
- With the tortellini cooked, fold in 2 cups of roughly chopped fresh spinach leaves. Let it cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- Taste your Healthy Tortellini Soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Then, remove the pot from heat. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
- Serve the Healthy Tortellini Soup hot.
