Instructions
-
In a large pot, combine all ingredients except the tortellini and Parmesan cheese. This mixture forms the rich base of your soup, where the flavors will meld together beautifully.
-
Bring the contents of the pot to a vigorous boil, ensuring that the vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, and spices start to infuse their flavors.
-
Once boiling, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cover the pot, allowing it to cook for about 20 minutes. This is the time for the flavors to deepen and the vegetables to soften.
-
While the tomato and spinach mixture simmers, prepare the tortellini according to the package instructions. Be cautious not to overcook; I recommend undercooking the pasta by a minute or two so that it retains a firm texture, which will provide a lovely contrast in the soup.
-
Once the tortellini is cooked, drain it well and set aside.
-
After the initial simmering period, add the tortellini to the tomato and spinach mixture, stirring gently to incorporate. Allow it to simmer together for another 5 minutes, ensuring that the tortellini absorbs some of the soup’s delicious flavors.
-
Serve the soup hot in bowls, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of black pepper for an extra touch of flavor.
