Instructions
- Bring a dutch oven or large pot to medium-high heat with 1-2 TBSP of oil (simply add as needed) and sauté carrot, onion, and broccoli for 5-8 minutes or until tender.
- Add garlic and saute until fragrant, then stir in Italian seasoning and broth.
- Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer, covered.
- While the veggies simmer, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Once melted, add flour and stir vigorously with a metal whisk to cook the flour and start a roux. After about a minute, slowly add milk and whisk well.
- Stirring often, allow the milk to heat up and simmer, whisking as it thickens. Stir in heavy cream and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and slowly add freshly grated cheddar cheese, stirring as it melts. Set aside.
- Add tortellini, frozen peas, and chopped spinach to the veggies/broth and remove from heat. Pour/stir in cream sauce and mix well. Allow soup to sit while it cools a bit (it will be piping hot!) allowing the peas and tortelllini to warm through and soften and the soup to thicken slightly.
- Season with any additonal salt/pepper/italian seasoning and enjoy!
- This soup is fantastic served with grilled cheese or bread/rolls for dunking if you'd like.
Notes
- *My favorite Italian seasoning blend is salt-free Mrs. Dash -- we use it on everything!
