Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 - 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 14.5 can tomatoes (not drained)
- 3 T tomato paste, more or less for desired thickness
- 6 c broth chicken or vegetable, more if desired
- 1 24 oz. jar marinara
- 2 handfuls Spinach
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper
- ½ tsp pepper
- ½ tsp sea salt, less if desired
- 20 oz. package cheese tortellini
- olive oil (for stove top)
- freshly chopped basil for serving, optional
Instructions
For Stove Top:
- Over medium high heat, heat olive oil in a large pot. Sauté garlic and onion until translucent.
- Add the broth, tomatoes, tomato paste, marinara and spices. Stir to combine. Add in the spinach and allow it to cook down into the soup. Turn the stove to medium low and allow to heat at a light bubble for about 10 minutes.
- Several minutes before ready to serve, toss in tortellini and allow to cook until al dente (this time can vary, but approx. 3-5 minutes). Add more tomato paste to thicken the broth or if you prefer your soup more broth based, you can even add more broth.
- Enjoy with fresh basil, garlic bread and your favorite shredded parmesan cheese!
For Slow Cooker:
- Combine all ingredients into slow cooker except for tortellini. Cook on low 4-6 hours or High 2-3 hours.
- Add in tortellini about 15-20 minutes before serving and allow to cook until al dente. Serve with your favorite garnishes!
- Refrigerate leftovers in an air tight container for up to 5 days.
Notes
Adjust the thickness to your liking. The use of the marinara and tomato paste will help thicken the broth of this soup. If you prefer a thinner broth, adjust by adding more broth. If you find it to be too thin, add extra tomato paste.
Don't overcook the tortellini. You will definitely want to wait until just before serving to add the tortellini for best results.
