This Spinach Tortellini Soup is like a warm hug during the cold winter months. It's hearty, filling and so satisfying. It's a one-pot soup that comes together so quickly, you can have it on the table in less than half an hour.
In a soup pot, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the onions, carrots, and celery for two minutes on medium-high heat.
Once everything has softened you can add the garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds. When the garlic has cooked off, add another 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and stir together.
Add in 6 cups of good-quality veggie or chicken broth, salt and pepper to taste and simmer for 10 minutes.
Boil the tortellini separately in a pot of boiling salted water, and once they float to the top you can add them in to the soup pot along with the spinach and half-and-half cream.
Feel free to add a touch of Italian seasonings but that is optional. Let it cool a bit, taste and adjust for salt. Feel free to hit it with some fresh parm and enjoy.
