Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 large carrot diced
- 1 orange bell pepper diced
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 14 oz cheese tortellini
- 2 cups spinach
- 1 tbsp pesto
- parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium high heat.
- Add the onion and sauté until translucent.
- Add in the garlic, carrot, and bell pepper. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Add in the tomato paste and Italian seasoning along with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 30 minutes.
- Add the tortellini and spinach and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until the tortellini is fully cooked.
- Stir in the pesto, taste and add more if desired.
- Scoop into a bowl, tope with parsley and serve warm.
Notes
- Prevent Overcooking the Tortellini: To avoid mushy tortellini, cook them separately according to the package instructions and add them to the soup just before serving. This keeps their texture intact and prevents them from becoming too soft in the soup.
- Enhance Flavor with Parmesan Rind: Adding a small Parmesan rind to the soup while it simmers adds a rich, umami flavor. Just be sure to remove it before serving.
- Pesto for Depth: Pesto adds a burst of flavor to the soup. If you want to make the soup even more special, use homemade pesto or a high-quality store-bought version.
- Customize the Vegetables: You can easily swap out or add vegetables based on your preferences. Consider adding kale, zucchini, or mushrooms for a more personalized touch.
- Achieve Perfect Consistency: If you prefer a creamier soup, consider adding a splash of heavy cream or an alternative like coconut milk or half-and-half for a dairy-free option.
