Speaking of delicious soups here is this weeks recipe for you to try!!
Creamy Tortellini Soup (30 Minutes!) Image below!
Ingredients: 1 small yellow onion
4 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons olive oil
28-ounce fire roasted crushed tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
4 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon each dried oregano and dried basil
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
4 cups baby spinach (or chopped standard spinach), packed
1 handful fresh basil leaves (about 6 to 8 large leaves)
½ cup heavy cream (or half and half or whole milk)*
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
12 to 16 ounces frozen or refrigerated tortellini, any flavor
Instructions: Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and sauté for about 5 to 6 minutes until translucent. Add the garlic and sauté 30 seconds more.
Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, broth, herbs and kosher salt. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 8 minutes.
Stir in the spinach, basil leaves, heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Bring to simmer and add the tortellini. Cook according to the package instructions: about 2 to 3 minutes for refrigerated and 3 to 5 minutes for frozen. Taste and add additional salt as desired.
Serve immediately.
NOTE:
Store leftovers refrigerated. The pasta does soak up quite a bit of the broth, so you may want to add a splash of water when reheating. If you make it ahead, make the soup without the tortellini; then heat it up and cook the pasta right before serving.
