Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 onion, diced
2 tbsp flour
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 celery sticks, diced
2 medium tomatoes, diced (or 1 can diced tomatoes)
4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup heavy cream
3 cups spinach tortellini (Trader Joe's brand)
2 cups fresh baby spinach
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
salt & pepper

Garnish

shaved parmesan cheese or grated

Instructions

In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until they're fragrant and the onion turns translucent.
Mix the flour with the onion and garlic, cook for about a minute, and slowly pour in the vegetable broth. Stir well, make sure the flour has dissolved completely.
Add the celery, tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Once it's boiling, add the spinach tortellini. Cook until tender and float to the surface. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Halfway through cooking, add the cream and mix it well.
Bring to a simmer; at this point, adjust the taste and add salt & pepper if needed. Remember, a little goes a long way!
Turn the heat off and stir in the fresh baby spinach leaves. Let them wilt into the soup; it only takes a few minutes. Ladle your creamy spinach tortellini soup into bowls.
Top each serving with a sprinkle of shaved or grated Parmesan cheese for that Insta-worthy finish!

Notes

TIPS:

1. Choose Quality Tortellini: Start with high-quality tortellini. Whether you're using store-bought or homemade, selecting a good brand or making them with fresh ingredients can significantly enhance the flavor and texture of your soup. Opt for spinach or cheese tortellini for that classic taste.

I used Trader Joe's spinach tortellini (not sponsored), 1 pack (3 cups) for $2.99.

2. Don't Overcook the Tortellini: Be vigilant when cooking the tortellini. Overcooking can make them mushy and less appealing. Follow the package instructions closely. But, of course, be the judge of your tortellini while cooking. For example, the Trader Joe's package instructions suggest 2-3 minutes, but this is not the case for this soup. Cook until tender, and float to the surface.
