Ingredients

for the soup:
  • 2 tablespoons Frying oil
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 large carrots
  • 1 stalk celery
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 teaspoons Italian or French herbs
  • 1 (14 oz/400ml) can crushed tomatoes
  • 5 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 medium zucchini
  • big handful green beans 150g
  • 1 lb (450g) fresh cheese tortellini
  • salt and pepper
to serve:
  • grated parmesan
  • chopped parsley
  • crunchy baguette with butter

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare all the vegetables: dice the onion, finely chop garlic, cut the carrots, celery, and zucchini into 1/2-inch (1 cm) cubes, trim the ends of the green beans then into 2-3 parts.
  2. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for a couple of minutes until slightly soft. Add the garlic and herbs, cook for 1 minute, stirring.
  3. Add crushed tomatoes and broth. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Add the zucchini and green beans, bring to a boil, simmer for 8 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.
  5. Cook the tortellini according to the manufacturer's instructions. I used fresh tortellini and needed to simmer them only for 2 minutes. If your tortellini need more cooking time, add them earlier.
  6. Season the soup with salt and pepper. Serve sprinkled with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan. It's also great with buttered crunchy baguette on the side.
  7. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can freely modify the ingredients and add other vegetables you have on hand. Other tortellini flavors like spinach ricotta or prosciutto would also work well.
  • This soup reheats very well, but the tortellini left in the soup will become very soft and not al dente like freshly cooked.
  • You can also freeze it for up to 3 months. Don't freeze it if you've used frozen tortellini.
  • Calories = 1 serving (1/4 of the recipe). This is only an estimate!
