Calories 101kcal
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 yellow onion chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 1 28-ounce can canned diced tomatoes
- ¼ cup fresh basil chopped, plus more for garnish
- 1 9-ounce package cheese tortellini
- 3 cups fresh spinach
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese optional
Instructions
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, crushed red pepper and salt, and cook until the onions are softened and translucent, 4-5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until it darkens and starts sticking to the bottom of the pot, 1-2 minutes longer. Add the vegetable stock, diced tomatoes, and basil.
- Bring the soup to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the tortellini and simmer until tender, about 5 minutes more. Turn off the heat and stir in the spinach.
- Sprinkle with parmesan cheese if desired and serve.
Notes
Tip: Freeze the tomato soup base for a quick, easy weeknight meal. All you'll have to add in when ready to eat is the cheese tortellini and spinach!
