Before you know it, you'll have a rich and comforting dish on the table. Here's how to make it yourself.
Things You'll Need
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cups broth
- 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 3 to 4 cups refrigerated tortellini
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or half & half
- 6 cups spinach (optional)
Tip
For a chunkier soup, use 28 ounces of canned diced tomatoes. Another option is to use one 14.5-ounce can each of crushed and diced tomatoes.
Step 1
In a large pot over medium heat, warm the butter. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and flour and whisk until thick, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Slowly add the broth and mix well. Add the tomatoes and spices. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, mixing continously.
Step 3
Add the tortellini and heavy cream. Stir until heated through, about 10 minutes or according to the tortellini's directions. Stir in spinach and mix until wilted, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Top with fresh Parmesan and serve immediately. Enjoy!
