Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 medium celery chopped, stalks
- 2 large carrot peeled and chopped
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 4 cups cheese tortellini frozen
- 3 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper cracked
- 1 cup spinach fresh baby
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Turn the Instant Pot to saute and heat the oil for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add in the celery, carrots, and onions and cook for 5-7 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Add the tortellini, broth, water, salt, and pepper and cook on high pressure for 4 minutes. Make sure the valve is in the sealing position. When the instant pot has finished, release the pressure manually by carefully using a wooden spoon to switch the valve to the venting position.
- Add the spinach and cream and stir - the spinach should wilt almost immediately.
- Serve, garnished with grated parmesan cheese, if desired.

Notes
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 3 days; the soup does not freeze well.
- For stovetop preparation, sauté vegetables, then boil broth and cook tortellini separately following package instructions before adding spinach and cream.
- Substitute kale for spinach if preferred.
- Omitting the cream results in a lighter, broth-based soup.
- Reduce cook time for fresh tortellini to 2 minutes.
