Tortellini soup with spinach is a quick, simple, healthy dinner idea that the whole family will love and it is done in about 30 minutes!
This is one of those throw-together soups that I find myself making over and over again because it comes together quickly and everyone loves to eat it.
Quick and Easy Tortellini Soup with Spinach
I put a picture of this Quick and Easy Tortellini Soup with Spinach on my Instagram feed the night that I made it and the crowds cheered! I thought I better post the recipe sooner rather than later so that you all could get right to making it! This soup is really simple, comes together in under 30 minutes, and is the perfect match for my Super Simple No-Knead Bread recipe. Have you tried that bread yet? It's amazing.
My kids liked this soup because it's full of cheese tortellini, and I loved that they ate it because it's full of vegetables. The leftovers were even more delicious the next day, when everything had time to marry and blend.
What tomato products are best to use in tortellini soup?
The recipe suggests using diced tomatoes which are a great option, but you can use quite a few other things as well.
You have a lot of options when it comes to what tomato products you use. I have used 1 quarts of home-canned whole tomatoes in their own juice. I have also made this before using 2 cans of diced tomatoes, and I have also made it using whole tomatoes in their own juice and I just diced the tomatoes before adding them. Crushed tomatoes on their own or combined with diced are also a good option too. Feel free to use what you have on hand.
How long does it take to cook the spinach?
Spinach cooks really quickly. Cook spinach until it is wilted, usually 4-5 minutes. Sometimes I'll chop the spinach up before adding it to the pot so that it's easier for kids to eat.
How to freeze tortellini soup:
You can freeze the soup with or without the tortellini in it. Simply put in a freezer safe container and freeze up to 3 months. The pasta will get a little soft when you reheat it but it's never stop us from enjoying it out of the freezer.
