A quick, easy, and comforting one-pot soup featuring cheese tortellini, fresh spinach, and a creamy tomato broth. Perfect for cozy nights and busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces fresh or frozen cheese tortellini
  • 4 cups fresh baby spinach leaves (about 120 grams)
  • 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and broth. Stir in dried Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
  4. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add the cheese tortellini directly into the simmering soup. Cook uncovered for 5-7 minutes until the tortellini floats and is tender.
  6. Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream.
  7. Add the fresh spinach and stir until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm. Optionally, sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan or drizzle with olive oil.

Notes

Do not overcook the tortellini to avoid mushiness. If the soup thickens too much after adding cream, add a splash of broth or water to loosen it. Use good-quality canned tomatoes for best flavor. Add spinach at the end to keep it bright and fresh. For vegan or dairy-free versions, substitute cream with cashew cream and use vegan pasta.
