Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Soup:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes with juices
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 10 ounces refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach

For Garnish:

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Chopped fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Soup: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 4–5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Cook the Soup: Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes with their juices. Add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil. Add the tortellini and reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cook according to tortellini package instructions, usually about 5–7 minutes, until they are tender.
  3. Finish the Soup: Stir in the spinach and cook for 1–2 minutes, just until wilted. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  4. Serve: Serve hot, garnished with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil if desired.

Notes

  • For extra protein, add shredded rotisserie chicken or cooked Italian sausage.
  • You can use frozen tortellini instead of refrigerated—just adjust cooking time accordingly.
