TASTY TOPPINGS: CHOOSE YOUR FAVORITES
- Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- red pepper flakes crushed
- basil fresh, torn
Instructions
- Peel and finely dice your carrots and onion. Peel 4 cloves of fresh garlic and finely mince.
- Heat 1 TBSP oil or butter in a large pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add onion and carrots. Sauté until tender, approx. 5-6 minutes, adding garlic towards the very end.
- Add 2 cups of veggie stock, crushed tomatoes, thyme, oregano, and basil and stir to combine. Bring soup to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to low/simmer to allow the flavors to mingle and the carrots/onion to fully soften. Cover and simmer 5-10 minutes.
- Once the veggies have reached your ideal tenderness, bring the soup back up to a medium simmer and add your fresh tortellini. Allow the tortellini to simmer approx. 5 minutes until fully cooked and softened.
- Lastly chop your spinach and stir into the hot soup to wilt the greens. If desired you can add an extra cup of broth. Give it a taste and season with salt and black pepper as desired. Add your favorite toppings (grated parm and fresh basil for me!) and dive in while it's hot!
Notes
