Equipment

  • Soup Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 large sweet onion chopped
  • 3 large carrots chopped
  • 2 stalks celery chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 18-ounce package frozen cheese tortellini
  • 2 cups fresh kale or spinach

Instructions
 

  • In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the onions, carrots, celery, salt, and saute for 5 or 6 minutes until the veggies begin to soften.
  • Add in the Italian seasoning and the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then cover and let simmer for 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  • Add the tortellini directly into the boiling soup.  Continue to cook until the tortellini are cooked through (mine took 3-4 minutes).
  • Stir in the kale or spinach, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the greens begin to wilt.
  • Stir well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve tortellini and bean soup in a bowl, and top with a drizzle of olive oil on top, serve hot.

Notes

Additions and Substitutions
I used cheese tortellini, but you can use frozen pesto tortellini, a tricolored tortellini, or another variety if you prefer.
You can also use frozen vegetables instead of fresh for a super-easy swap.
Add more protein - you can use shredded chicken, chickpeas, or ground beef which is easy to add in. Make sure it's cooked before adding.
