Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 package (9 oz) refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 1 cup spinach or kale, chopped
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté for about 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables start to soften. Add the minced garlic and zucchini, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Step 2: Add the Broth and Seasonings
Pour in the diced tomatoes (with juice) and vegetable broth. Stir in the oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.

Step 3: Add the Tortellini
Once the vegetables are tender, add the cheese tortellini to the soup and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes, or until the tortellini is cooked through and floating to the top.

Step 4: Stir in the Greens
Add the chopped spinach or kale to the soup and stir until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Step 5: Serve
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot with a slice of crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Frozen tortellini can be used instead of fresh. Just add it directly to the pot without defrosting.
  • For a heartier soup, consider adding more veggies like bell peppers, peas, or green beans.
  • For extra protein, add a can of beans or cooked lentils to the soup.
