Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and aromatic.
- Incorporate the diced carrots and celery into the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently until they begin to soften.
- Add the diced zucchini to the pot, stirring it into the vegetable mix. Cook for about 3 minutes until the zucchini is slightly tender.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and the can of undrained diced tomatoes. Sprinkle in the dried basil and oregano, then add salt and pepper to taste. Stir well.
- Increase the heat to bring the soup to a gentle boil. Once boiling, cover the pot and allow it to simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- Add the cheese tortellini to the pot, cooking according to package instructions, usually about 7-10 minutes.
- Once the tortellini is cooked, toss in the roughly chopped spinach leaves and cook for an additional 2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Remove the pot from heat, and your Healthy Tortellini Soup is ready to serve.
- Serve hot, garnished with parsley and Parmesan cheese if desired.
