A savory tomato-based soup filled with spinach and tender cheese tortellini makes a perfect main or side dish. This spinach tortellini soup recipe takes frozen spinach and frozen cheese tortellini and turns them into a delightful soup full of flavors and textures.
Meatless Tortellini and Spinach Soup
In a large stockpot, saute the onions and garlic in oil until opaque and limp. Then add tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, broth, basil, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring this all back to a boil while stirring occasionally. Next pour in the frozen spinach and tortellini. Bring the soup back to a boil. Keep stirring it frequently to break up the frozen spinach. Boil the soup until the tortellini is cooked through and tender. This will be about 10 minutes. Then keep the soup warm on low heat and serve. Enjoy!
We like to eat this spinach soup with butter crackers or toasted french bread. However, for the perfect soup side, try out these Toasted Baguette Slices(Crostini). Sliced French baguette brushed with olive oil and garlic powder and toasted in the oven, these snack-size bites take every soup to the next level.
