Spinach and Tortellini Soup
My tomato-y broth is perfect for cheese tortellini and fresh spinach. Add extra garlic and Italian seasoning to suit your taste. —Debbie Wilson, Burlington, North Carolina

Reviews
This is super easy and very flavorful. I substituted low-sodium chicken broth for vegetable broth because it was what I had on hand and I think it enhanced the flavor without drastically increasing the sodium content. My husband said that it was OK but that he liked a similar recipe, Rustic Italian Tortellini Soup (also a Taste of Home recipe), much better. I kind of agree with him but I really liked how light and healthy this soup is. It's low fat, reasonable carb level and low sodium if you choose. I may, based on an earlier reviewer's recommendation, add a can of white beans for additional fiber and protein next time I make this soup. Still, it's delicious as is!
My husband is not a soup lover but he loved this recipe! I sliced three links of pre-cooked Italian sausage and added that at the end, it made it more hearty with more Italian flavor. Delish!
This is really quick and tasty. Great option for a meatless meal. Having said that, I might try this with chicken broth sometime, just out of personal flavor preference.
Simple and delicious!
I do not like cooked tomatoes though I will eat them on a sandwich. Tomato sauce is OK. I think I will try it with chicken broth. Recipe looks great otherwise.
This was filling and delicious, and so easy to make! I only had two cans of vegetable broth, so I added one can of chicken broth. It worked just fine.
This sounds like a good soup to make for the winter time. The only change I will have to make is using sausage tortellini instead of the cheese due to food allergies.
Love this soup, it's so easy. I just toss in whatever tortellini I happen to have and it always turns out great.
Tasty. I used a quart of homemade tomato juice instead of the canned tomatoes because that's what I had on hand. I added soup base instead of broth, and added a little water to the juice along with minced garlic, basil, oregano, thyme, dash of chili powder and ground pepper. I used dried tortilini but fresh would have been better.When the pasta was almost ready, I added the spinach and parmesan cheese, and some canned chicken breast. I served it with savory onion muffins. Yum.
Have been making this for a long time. So quick- I always add a little more tortellini and fresh basil if I have it. All my friends have asked for the recipe and they make as well.
