Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups vegetable broth

1 (9-ounce) package refrigerated cheese tortellini

2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Optional: Crusty bread for dipping

Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, which should take about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until it becomes fragrant and slightly golden.

    Add Broth and Tortellini: Pour in the vegetable broth, increasing the heat to medium-high to bring it to a gentle simmer. Once simmering, add the refrigerated cheese tortellini. Cook the tortellini according to the package instructions, typically for about 3-5 minutes, or until they float to the surface.

      Incorporate Spinach and Cream: After the tortellini is fully cooked, lower the heat to low. Stir in the chopped spinach and allow it to wilt for about 1-2 minutes. Next, pour in the heavy cream along with the dried basil and oregano, stirring well to combine all the flavors. Season generously with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.

        Simmer and Serve: Allow the soup to simmer gently for another 3-5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed for a perfect balance of flavors.

          Garnish: Carefully ladle the creamy spinach tortellini soup into individual serving bowls. Top each bowl with a generous sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor and richness. If you like, serve it hot with a side of crusty bread ideal for dipping.
