Print Recipe

A quick and easy creamy tomato soup with cheese tortellini and fresh spinach, perfect for cozy dinners and ready in just 25 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 ounces (250g) cheese tortellini, frozen or fresh
  • 4 cups (about 120g) fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces / 410g) canned diced tomatoes, preferably fire-roasted
  • 4 cups (32 fl oz / 950ml) vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 cup (8 fl oz / 240ml) heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or mix of dried basil, oregano, and thyme)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat in a large pot.
  2. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 4 minutes until translucent and soft, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly.
  4. Pour in the canned diced tomatoes with their juices and 4 cups of broth. Stir together and add 1 teaspoon of sugar.
  5. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it simmer uncovered for 8-10 minutes to deepen flavor and reduce liquid slightly.
  6. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions, about 3-5 minutes, until they float and are tender. Stir gently to prevent sticking.
  7. Lower heat to medium-low and stir in 1 cup heavy cream.
  8. Add the chopped spinach last, stirring until just wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
  9. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  10. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with Parmesan or fresh basil.

Notes

Add spinach last to keep it bright and tender. Stir cream in off the heat to prevent curdling. Use gluten-free tortellini and dairy-free cream for dietary adaptations. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days; add broth when reheating to loosen soup. Freezing is not recommended with cream and tortellini.
