Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup diced onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 28 ounce can diced tomatoes with juice
- 24 ounce jar store bought marinara sauce (can also use homemade)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Fresh black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
- 1 pound fresh chicken tortellini (can swap out cheese, spinach, beef or any other flavor, see note*)
- 5 ounces fresh baby spinach
Instructions
- Add the olive oil to a soup pot or dutch oven over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened, then add the garlic and cook 1 minute longer.
- Add the tomato paste, stirring into the onions and garlic and then pour in the chicken broth, diced tomatoes with juice and the marinara sauce. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder and oregano, stir and bring to a simmer. Simmer the soup for 15 minutes, uncovered.
- Pour the heavy cream and the tortellini into the soup and stir. Cover the pot and cook for 7-8 minutes until the tortellini is plumped and cooked through. If using frozen tortellini, add a few minutes to the cooking time, or cook before adding to the soup.
- Taste the soup for seasonings and then add the parmesan cheese, fresh spinach and stir. Cook the soup just until the spinach is wilted and serve.
Recipe Notes
Any flavor of tortellini will work for this soup recipe. Use the fresh tortellini that you find in the refrigerated section of your store instead of frozen. If you have to use frozen tortellini, add a few more minutes to the cooking time during that step or cook the tortellini before adding to the soup.
If you need to use frozen spinach instead of fresh spinach, make sure to defrost the spinach completely and squeeze the water out before adding it to the soup.
