👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Sauté the Aromatics

In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, until vegetables begin to soften.

2. Add Broth and Tomatoes

Pour in the broth, diced tomatoes (with their juices), and Italian seasoning. Season with a little salt and pepper.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 10 minutes.

3. Add Tortellini and Spinach

Stir in the tortellini and cook according to package instructions—usually about 5–7 minutes, until tender.

During the last 2 minutes of cooking, stir in the spinach until wilted.

4. Taste and Serve

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Ladle into bowls and top with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese if desired (just watch the portion for points!).

🥄 Serving Suggestions

This soup is a meal on its own, but if you want to pair it with something, try:

• A side salad with light vinaigrette
• A slice of whole grain bread (track points!)
• Roasted vegetables or steamed green beans

🧊 Storage & Meal Prep Tips

• Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days
• Freezer: If freezing, cook the tortellini separately and add after reheating to avoid mushy pasta
• Reheat: Warm gently on the stovetop or in the microwave
