Tortellini Soup is an oldie but a goodie soup! A quick and easy soup filled with tomatoes, fresh spinach, and cheese tortellini!
This soup cooks up fast making for a filling weeknight meal! I use refrigerated cheese tortellini for faster cooking and fresher taste. Of course, you can use frozen tortellini.
Fresh tomatoes can easily be used in the recipe, but I prefer the convenience of canned whole peeled tomatoes. I do recommend to use fresh spinach in this dish for better texture and taste!
Freshly grated parmesan cheese on top is not necessary, but why not! To round out this soup, serve with some warm and crusty buttered French bread!
