WHAT'S SPECIAL
You'll be surprised by how easy it is to make this super tasty soup!

The moment we tried this soup it became an instant favorite, and it’s probably the dish we eat the most often at home. Why? It’s super easy and fast to make, and the result is a flavorful and filling soup. Needless to say, this is a fantastic option if you are working from home and don’t have much time for cooking.

Tortellini and spinach soup

We use store-bought tortellini for this recipe, which you can usually find with a variety of fillings: spinach and ricotta, ham and cheese, mushrooms, and so on. Don’t worry about it and choose whichever sounds best to you. Usually the flavor is mild, so it is very unlikely that it would clash with the other flavors in your tortellini and spinach soup.

The tomatoes play a big role in this soup, so try to use a brand of canned tomatoes that you know and like. Our favorite brand is Mutti, from Italy. It is a tad more expensive than generic brands, but the quality is great and, perhaps most important, consistent. (We aren’t sponsored by the brand, we just like it.)

Tortellini and spinach soup

It is important to add the tortellini only after the rest of the ingredients are almost completely ready and to follow the instructions on the packaging for the cooking time. If you simmer the dumplings for too long, they can become a bit too soft and start breaking by the time you are at the table. Enjoy your tortellini and spinach soup!
